AWS S3

Connect your S3 to see your S3 datasets and files within the Catalog.
Minimum Requirement
To connect your AWS S3 to Decube, we will need the following information:
IAM user's Access Key
IAM user's Secret Access Key
S3 Region
AWS IAM User
1.Login to AWS Console and proceed to IAM > User > Create User
2.Click on Attach Policies and Create Policy and choose JSON Editor input the following policy and press next, input the policy name of your choice and press Create Policy
{
	"Version": "2012-10-17",
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Action": [
				"s3:GetObject",
				"s3:ListBucket",
				"s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
			],
			"Resource": [
				"arn:aws:s3:::{bucket-name}",
				"arn:aws:s3:::{bucket-name}/*"
			]
		}
	]
}
3.Search for the policy you created just now, select it and press Next.
4.Press Create user
5.Navigate to the newly created user and click on Create access key
6.Choose Application running outside AWS
7.Save the provided access key and secret access key. You will not be able to retrieve these keys again.

Path Specs (Copied from Datahub)
Path Specs (path_specs) is a list of Path Spec (path_spec) objects where each individual path_spec represents one or more datasets. Include path (path_spec.include) represents formatted path to the dataset. This path must end with *.* or *.[ext] to represent leaf level. If *.[ext] is provided then files with only specified extension type will be scanned. ".[ext]" can be any of supported file types. Refer example 1 below for more details.
All folder levels need to be specified in include path. You can use /*/ to represent a folder level and avoid specifying exact folder name. To map folder as a dataset, use {table} placeholder to represent folder level for which dataset is to be created. Refer example 2 and 3 below for more details.
Exclude paths (path_spec.exclude) can be used to ignore paths that are not relevant to current path_spec. This path cannot have named variables ( {} ). Exclude path can have ** to represent multiple folder levels. Refer example 4 below for more details.
Refer example 5 if your bucket has more complex dataset representation.
Additional points to note
Folder names should not contain {, }, *, / in their names.
Named variable {folder} is reserved for internal working. please do not use in named variables.
Path Specs - Examples
Example 1 - Individual file as Dataset
Bucket structure:
test-bucket
├── employees.csv
├── departments.json
└── food_items.csv
Path specs config to ingest employees.csv and food_items.csv as datasets:
path_specs:
    - include: s3://test-bucket/*.csv
This will automatically ignore departments.json file. To include it, use *.* instead of *.csv.
Example 2 - Folder of files as Dataset (without Partitions)
Bucket structure:
test-bucket
└──  offers
     ├── 1.csv
     └── 2.csv
Path specs config to ingest folder offers as dataset:
path_specs:
    - include: s3://test-bucket/{table}/*.csv
{table} represents folder for which dataset will be created.
Example 3 - Folder of files as Dataset (with Partitions)
Bucket structure:
test-bucket
├── orders
│   └── year=2022
│       └── month=2
│           ├── 1.parquet
│           └── 2.parquet
└── returns
    └── year=2021
        └── month=2
            └── 1.parquet
​
Path specs config to ingest folders orders and returns as datasets:
path_specs:
    - include: s3://test-bucket/{table}/*/*/*.parquet
Example 4 - Folder of files as Dataset (with Partitions), and Exclude Filter
Bucket structure:
test-bucket
├── orders
│   └── year=2022
│       └── month=2
│           ├── 1.parquet
│           └── 2.parquet
└── tmp_orders
    └── year=2021
        └── month=2
            └── 1.parquet
​
Path specs config to ingest folder orders as dataset but not folder tmp_orders:
path_specs:
    - include: s3://test-bucket/{table}/*/*/*.parquet
      exclude:
        - **/tmp_orders/**
​
Example 5 - Advanced - Either Individual file OR Folder of files as Dataset
Bucket structure:
test-bucket
├── customers
│   ├── part1.json
│   ├── part2.json
│   ├── part3.json
│   └── part4.json
├── employees.csv
├── food_items.csv
├── tmp_10101000.csv
└──  orders
    └── year=2022
        └── month=2
            ├── 1.parquet
            ├── 2.parquet
            └── 3.parquet
​
Path specs config:
path_specs:
    - include: s3://test-bucket/*.csv
      exclude:
        - **/tmp_10101000.csv
    - include: s3://test-bucket/{table}/*.json
    - include: s3://test-bucket/{table}/*/*/*.parquet
​
Above config has 3 path_specs and will ingest following datasets
employees.csv - Single File as Dataset
food_items.csv - Single File as Dataset
customers - Folder as Dataset
orders - Folder as Dataset and will ignore file tmp_10101000.csv
Valid path_specs.include
s3://my-bucket/foo/tests/bar.csv # single file table
s3://my-bucket/foo/tests/*.* # mulitple file level tables
s3://my-bucket/foo/tests/{table}/*.parquet #table without partition
s3://my-bucket/foo/tests/{table}/*/*.csv #table where partitions are not specified
s3://my-bucket/foo/tests/{table}/*.* # table where no partitions as well as data type specified
s3://my-bucket/{dept}/tests/{table}/*.parquet # specifying keywords to be used in display namepartition key and value format
Valid path_specs.exclude
- */tests/**
- s3://my-bucket/hr/**
- */tests/*.csv
- s3://my-bucket/foo/*/my_table/**
Supported file types
Supported file types are as follows:
CSV (*.csv)
TSV (*.tsv)
JSON (*.json)
JSON (*.jsonl)
Parquet (*.parquet)
Schemas for Parquet and Avro files are extracted as provided.
Schemas for schemaless formats (CSV, TSV, JSON) are inferred. For CSV, TSV, JSONL files, we consider the first 100 rows by default JSON file schemas are inferred on the basis of the entire file (given the difficulty in extracting only the first few objects of the file), which may impact performance.
