In order to access real S3 bucket, the client should use signed requests
over https. Partially this is due to security considerations, partially
this is unavoidable, because multipart-uploading is banned for unsigned
requests on the S3. Also, signed requests over plain http require
signing the payload as well, which is a bit troublesome, so it's better
to stick to secure https and keep payload unsigned.
To prepare signed requests the code needs to know three things:
- aws key
- aws secret
- aws region name
The latter could be derived from the endpoint URL, but it's simpler to
configure it explicitly, all the more so there's an option to use S3
URLs without region name in them we could want to use some time.
To keep the described configuration the proposed place is the
object_storage.yaml file with the format
endpoints:
- name: a.b.c
port: 443
aws_key: 12345
aws_secret: abcdefghijklmnop
...
When loaded, the map gets into db::config and later will be propagated
down to sstables code (see next patch).
