-----------------------------------
Summary: S3: Impala should be able to use IAM roles to access s3
storage
Key: IMPALA-6067
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6067
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: Impala 2.9.0, Impala 2.8.0, Impala 2.7.0, Impala 2.10.0
Environment: EC2
Reporter: Laszlo Gaal
Assignee: Laszlo Gaal
Amazon VMs can access s3 storage using supplied IAM roles for authentication,
bypassing the need to carry around AWS access keys in environment variables,
which are vulnerable to accidental disclosure.
Impala should be able to utilize this mechanism for s3 access in addition to
the usual AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY credential pair.
