Features
The S3 connector will crawl content from any Amazon Simple Storage Service. The connector will retrieve documents stored in buckets, folders, and subfolders. The S3 connector can be installed and run from either inside the Amazon Cloud or on a local Aspire server.
Some of the features of the S3 connector include:
- Performs incremental crawling (so that only new/updated documents are indexed)
- Fetches Object ACLs (access control lists) for S3 document-level security
- Is search engine independent
- Runs from any machine with access to the given S3 repository
Future Development Plan
Currently, when document metadata is extracted during indexing, the Object ACLs are being added to each document. These ACLs specify the users (registered on Amazon) who have permission to read the document.
Additional security features, including handling policy ACLs and group permissions, are planned and will be available in the future.
Anything else we should add? Please let us know.
