Alibaba Cloud OSS Data Sources¶

Alibaba Cloud OSS data sources can be used to access Alibaba buckets. It is necessary to create this type of data source to export documents to the cloud from some exporters.

When creating an Alibaba Cloud OSS data source, the following parameters must be specified:

• Default bucket. Default bucket for storing exported documents.

• Authentication. There are two ways to configure the Alibaba Cloud authentication.

  • Access Key ID and Secret: specify the AccessKey ID and the AccessKey Secret.

  • Instance Profile: specify the Role Name (role name of the ECS binding, not Role ARN).

• Endpoint. Aliyun OSS endpoint to connect to.

• Custom properties. Set the same properties that you would put in the Hadoop configuration files like core-site.xml to configure the Alibaba Cloud OSS Hadoop connector.
