Aaron Fabbri commented on HADOOP-14391:
---------------------------------------

There appears to be [an 
API|http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/s3/AmazonS3.html#getBucketLocation-com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.GetBucketLocationRequest-]
  to query bucket location.

I suppose we could:

- Introduce a new config flag, say, {{fs.s3a.auto.set.endpoint}} (or we could 
use a special value "auto" for {{fs.s3a.endpoint}}.)
- When enabled, at init time, use {{AmazonS3#getBucketLocation(..)}}, 
{{Region#fromValue()}}, then build the endpoint name s3-${REGION}.amazonaws.com 
and set it.

>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Specifying the S3A endpoint ({{fs.s3a.endpoint}}) is
> - *required* for regions which only support v4 authentication
> - A good practice for all regions.
> The user experience of having to configure endpoints is not great.  Often it 
> is neglected and leads to additional cost, reduced performance, or failures 
> for v4 auth regions.
> I want to explore an option which, when enabled, auto-detects the region for 
> an s3 bucket and uses the proper endpoint.  Not sure if this is possible or 
> anyone has looked into it yet.
