[GitHub] [hop] hansva opened a new issue, #2627: [Feature Request]: VFS authentication types

hansva opened a new issue, #2627:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/2627

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   We should have a system to use alternative ways to connect to external sources and ways to provide authentication to this service.
   
   - Keep everything backwards compatible, default s3/gs/... should still work as they do today
   - Add an option to create new VFS types which link to a base type but include extra information. eg I would like the option to create a path named "mys3bucket://" which is of type s3 and contains a specific username/key or another authentication mechanism that s3-like filesystems support (MinIO,Ceph,...)
   
   This creates an other level of abstraction which gives extra flexibility when working multi-cloud/environment. When migrating or running somewhere else I could change the definition of "mys3bucket" to use another backend/authentication
   
   
   - We should be able to tie the authentication of VFS file systems against the Authentication Provider plugins which are already present in Apache Hop but go unused.  For example if we have a secure FTP target and we want to authenticate using a secure key we should be able to provide that key and use that to authenticate against a certain hostname.
   - It should be possible to authenticate differently to several systems in the same project or environment.  For example it should be possible to authenticate to different hdfs:// servers at the same time or use multiple Amazon s3:// accounts at the same time.  This would allow us to transfer data from one account to another for example.
   - It should be possible to create symbolic links through our VFS driver usage where we map one folder to another hiding the implementation details.
