[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-542) S3 sink cannot be used if your AWS keys needs escaping

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13121595#comment-13121595 ] 

Shuang Wu commented on FLUME-542:
---------------------------------

FYI, If S3 keys with "/" are stored in /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml, there is no problem.

> If you key or secret contains "/" characters, you are instructed to escape them (see http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/AmazonS3).
> For example:
> {noformat} 
> 19823791823/1232323/nm3nm
> {noformat} 
> ...should be changed to:
> {noformat} 
> 19823791823%2F1232323%2Fnm3nm
> {noformat} 
> When using that in your sink configuration:
> {noformat} 
> collectorSink( "s3n://key:19823791823%2F1232323%2Fnm3nm@str-flume-ec2production/%Y-%m-%d/%H00/", "nginx-" )
> {noformat} 
> ...the Flume collector outputs this:
> {noformat} 
> 2011-02-28 23:06:20,009 WARN com.cloudera.flume.core.Event: Unrecognized escape in event format string: %2
> {noformat} 
> So then we tried double-escaping it:
> {noformat} 
> 19823791823%%2F1232323%%2Fnm3nm
> {noformat} 
> ...which passed the Flume escape check but now fails S3 auth.
