(This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for
this feature, in addition to the *what*)
I am working towards making datafusion-cli a powerful tool to use locally
for doing ad-hoc data analysis. The first step for that was #1875 which
enables defining a local "database" that runs on startup with a `.datafusionrc`
file. As a second step, I would like to be able to connect to object stores,
such as S3, just from SQL. That will of course require adding s3 as a feature
to datafusion-cli but that feature is useless unless `ObjectStores` can be
registered. Below is the current behaviour:
```
❯ CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE t STORED AS CSV LOCATION 's3://bucket/t.csv';
Internal("No suitable object store found for s3")
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like to be able to register a `ObjectStore` just from SQL. Given
that `ObjectStore` is a DataFusion concept I was thinking that we can add a
function such as `register_object_store`, rather than having a SQL statement.
So it would look something like
Default credentials
```
❯ register_object_store('s3');
```
Minio
```
❯ register_object_store('s3', ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY, PROVIDER, ENDPOINT);
```
