-----------------------------------

             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.
