Review comment:
       When a principal assumes an IAM role, Security Token Service (STS) hands 
out a set of values: access key, secret key and a token. These are temporary 
credentials valid for one hour by default. They are easily recognized as the 
access key is starting with `ASIA` which is different from regular credentials 
that are starting with `AKIA`
   
   If a principal wishes to use these credentials then the token must be 
included along with the access key and secret key. The token does not exist 
when using regular credentials starting with `AKIA`.
   
   Issue that we encountered when using Airflow is exactly that: Airflow runs 
under an IAM role but assumes another IAM role to get access to S3 in order to 
perform the `UNLOAD` command. However, since the token is not included the 
authentication does not work and role assumption fails, and so does the 
`UNLOAD` command.
