**Describe the bug** The AWS S3 variant of the interface has an option to do an unsigned payload, which should skip computing the payload checksum. However, in reality, the checksum is computed but then discarded, negating all performance improvements one should get by choosing to do an unsigned payload. The issue lies in this line: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/37cd34dfb199474053c2ca578c6c2d79296e1540/object_store/src/aws/client.rs#L353 I believe it should be checking `self.config.sign_payload` instead of `!self.config.skip_signature` **To Reproduce** Build a new amazon s3 object store with unsigned payloads ``` let store = AmazonS3Builder::new() .with_unsigned_payload(true) ... ``` Then put an object in the store. The outgoing request to s3 is correct, but the payload checksum generated here https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/37cd34dfb199474053c2ca578c6c2d79296e1540/object_store/src/aws/client.rs#L355 as a pre calculated digset is then discarded here https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/37cd34dfb199474053c2ca578c6c2d79296e1540/object_store/src/aws/credential.rs#L167 **Expected behavior** The checksum of the payload should never be computed if the unsigned payload config is set, even if the http request to s3 doesn't include the payload checksum -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
