interloper-aws

AWS integration for interloper: an S3Destination that stores asset data in an Amazon S3 bucket, and the AWSConnection that holds the credentials.

S3Destination is an ObjectStoreDestination, the same base as the Cloud Storage destination in interloper-google-cloud, so the two behave identically: one object per partition in a hive-partitioned layout, Parquet (the default), JSONL or CSV, the partition column in the path only, and each object's row count stored as row_count user metadata.

s3://{bucket}/{prefix}/{dataset}/{table}/data.{ext}
s3://{bucket}/{prefix}/{dataset}/{table}/{column}={partition}/data.{ext}

Usage

import interloper as il
from interloper_aws import AWSConnection, S3Destination

destination = S3Destination(
    connection=AWSConnection(region="eu-central-1"),
    bucket="acme-lake",
    prefix="raw",
    format="parquet",
)

source = Shop(destinations=destination)

Credentials

The connection takes an access key pair (access_key_id, secret_access_key, plus session_token for temporary credentials) and a region, defaulting to eu-central-1. Each field also loads from the standard environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN and AWS_REGION.

Leave the key pair empty and boto3's default credential chain applies: environment, shared config files, then the instance or pod role (an EC2 instance profile, EKS IRSA or Pod Identity). In a cluster, that means no stored secret at all: grant the workload's role access to the bucket.

The connection's check calls STS GetCallerIdentity, which needs no IAM permission, so a failing check means the credentials themselves are wrong. The bucket picker calls ListBuckets.

Permissions

The destination needs, on the bucket and its objects:

s3:PutObject to write
s3:GetObject to read, and to count objects written without row_count metadata
s3:ListBucket for partition row counts
s3:ListAllMyBuckets for the bucket picker only

Notes

ListObjectsV2 returns no user metadata, so partition row counts issue one HeadObject per listed object. That is still no download: the count comes from the row_count metadata stamped at write time. Objects written by other tools, without that metadata, are downloaded and counted.
