To use this connector, specify the name of the connector class in the `connector.class` configuration property.

```properties
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.s3.source.S3SourceConnector
```

Connector-specific configuration properties are described below.

## S3 Parameters

`store.url`
: Store’s connection URL, if applicable. For example: `http://bucket.s3-aws-region.amazonaws.com`.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`s3.bucket.name`
: The S3 Bucket.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Importance: high

  * Valid Values: Any class implementing: `software.amazon.awssdk.auth.credentials.AwsCredentialsProvider`
  * Importance: low

`s3.credentials.provider.aws.access.key.id`
: The AWS Access Key ID used to connect to S3. If specified, this will be used over the credentials provider chain.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Importance: medium

`s3.credentials.provider.aws.secret.access.key`
: The AWS Secret Access Key used to connect to S3. If specified, this will be used over the credentials provider chain.

`s3.retry.backoff.ms`
: How long to wait in milliseconds before attempting the first retry of a failed S3 request. Upon a failure, this connector may wait up to twice as long as the previous wait, up to the maximum number of retries. This avoids retrying in a tight loop under failure scenarios.
  <br/>
  * Type: long
  * Default: 200
  * Valid Values: [0,…]

  * Importance: low

`s3.proxy.user`
: S3 Proxy User. This property is meant to be used only if you need to access S3 through a proxy. Using `s3.proxy.user` instead of embedding the username and password in `s3.proxy.url` allows the password to be hidden in the logs.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: null
  * Importance: low

`s3.proxy.password`
: S3 Proxy Password. This property is meant to be used only if you need to access S3 through a proxy. Using `s3.proxy.password` instead of embedding the username and password in `s3.proxy.url` allows the password to be hidden in the logs.

  * Type: password
  * Default: [hidden]
  * Importance: low

`s3.http.send.expect.continue`
: Enable/disable use of the HTTP/1.1 handshake using EXPECT: 100-CONTINUE during multi-part upload. If true, the client waits for a 100 (CONTINUE) response before sending the request body. If false, the client uploads the entire request body without checking if the server is willing to accept the request.
  <br/>
  * Type: boolean
  * Default: true
  * Importance: low

`s3.part.retries`
: Maximum number of retry attempts for failed requests. Zero means no retries. The actual number of attempts is determined by the S3 client based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to the value of this parameter, type of exception occurred, throttling settings of the underlying S3 client, etc.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: 3
  * Valid Values: [0,…]
  * Importance: medium

`s3.ssea.name`
: The S3 Server-Side Encryption algorithm.

  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: null
  * Importance: low

`schema.cache.size`
: The size of the schema cache used in the Avro converter.
  <br/>

`record.batch.max.size`
: The maximum amount of records to return each time S3 is polled.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: 200
  * Valid Values: [1,…]
  * Importance: medium

## S3 Parameters (Generalized Connector Only)

`mode`
: The connector’s operation mode.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: RESTORE_BACKUP
  * Valid Values: [GENERIC, RESTORE_BACKUP]
  * Importance: high
  * Dependents: `task.batch.size`, `starting.timestamp`, `bucket.listing.max.objects.threshold`, `topic.regex.list`, `partitioner.class`, `partition.field.name`, `path.format`

`topic.regex.list`
: A comma-separated list of pairs of type `<kafka topic>:<regex>` that is used to map file paths to Kafka topics.
  An example might be `topic1:.*\.json` to source all files ending in `.json` to a kafka topic named `topic1`.
  You can specify multiple of these `<kafka topic>:<regex>` mappings to send different sets of files to different topics. Any files that aren’t mapped by a regex will be ignored and not sourced.
  Files that match multiple mappings will be sent to the first topic in the list that maps the file.
  <br/>
  * Type: list
  * Default: “”
  * Valid Values: A list of pairs in the form `<kafka topic1>:<regex1>, <kafka topic2>:<regex2>, ...`
  * Importance: high

`task.batch.size`
: The number of files assigned to each task at a time.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: 10
  * Valid Values: [1,…,2000]
  * Importance: medium

`file.discovery.starting.timestamp`
: A Unix timestamp (in epoch milliseconds) that denotes where to start
  processing files. Any file encountered with a creation time earlier than this
  will be ignored.
  <br/>
  #### IMPORTANT
  The `file.discovery.starting.timestamp` configuration property should
  only be used when there are no stored offsets for a connector–that is, this
  parameter is intended for new connectors to start from a specific timestamp
  rather than reading all the files in a bucket.
  <br/>
  * Type: long
  * Default: 0
  * Valid Values: [0,…]
  * Importance: medium

`bucket.listing.max.objects.threshold`
: An integer that represents the maximum number of objects the connector will
  index from the bucket at a time before failing. A value of `-1` indicates
  no limit.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: -1
  * Importance: medium

`parse.error.topic.prefix`
: The topic name prefix for a topic where records with error information would
  be published whenever the connector encounters a malformed file or an
  exception while parsing the source file. This setting appends the topic prefix
  with `-${connectorName}`. The final error topic name would be
  `${parse.error.topic.prefix}-${connectorName}`. The connector will populate
  this topic when `behavior.on.error` is set to either `ignore` or `log`.
  Additionally, connector uses this topic to write empty data in case of certain
  edge conditions to ensure connector is able to continue processing the files.
  <br/>
  #### NOTE
  Even when `behavior.on.error` is set to `fail`, the connector may still
  attempt to write to the error topic in the following edge cases. As a
  result, the connector requires write permission (ACL) on the error topic
  regardless of the `behavior.on.error` setting:
  <br/>
  * When a file ends with a blank line, which results in a `null` value as
    the last record.
  * When a file is deleted or expires (for example, due to an S3 lifecycle
    policy) after the initial bucket scan but before the connector finishes
    processing it.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: `error`
  * Importance: medium

## Connector Parameters

`s3.poll.interval.ms`
: Frequency in milliseconds to poll for new or removed folders. This may result in updated task configurations starting to poll for data in added folders or stopping polling for data in removed folders.
  <br/>
  * Type: long
  * Default: 60000
  * Importance: medium

`format.class`
: Class responsible for converting S3 objects to source records.
  <br/>
  * Type: class
  * Valid Values:
    * `io.confluent.connect.s3.format.avro.AvroFormat`
    * `io.confluent.connect.s3.format.bytearray.ByteArrayFormat`
    * `io.confluent.connect.s3.format.json.JsonFormat`
    * `io.confluent.connect.s3.format.string.StringFormat`
  * Importance: high

## Storage Parameters

`topics.dir`
: Top level directory where data was stored to be re-ingested by Kafka.
  <br/>
  #### NOTE
  With the Generalized S3 Source connector, when the `topics.dir` parameter
  is set to a blank space value (`' '`) , the connector reads all the
  data specified under the S3 bucket. If you don’t set a value for
  `topics.dir`, the configuration property takes the default value of
  `topics` and expects all the data in the specified S3 bucket to be
  under a folder called `topics`.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: topics
  * Importance: high

`directory.delim`
: Directory delimiter pattern.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: /
  * Importance: medium

`behavior.on.error`
: Sets how the connector handles errors that occur when processing records and parsing source files.
  <br/>
  `fail` immediately stops the connector and throws the encountered exception.
  `ignore` will log an event populated with filename and exception-message in event header, into the error topic. This file is ignored and connector progresses to next file.
  `log` follows same steps as `ignore`, additionally logs the encountered exception.
  <br/>
  Note - error-topic is only populated when ignore OR log are used. Error topic is named - `${parse.error.topic.prefix}-${connectorName}`
  <br/>
  #### NOTE
  Even when `behavior.on.error` is set to `fail`, the connector may still
  attempt to write to the error topic in specific edge cases (for example,
  when a file ends with a blank line, or when a file is deleted or expires
  after the initial bucket scan). Because of this, the connector requires
  write permission (ACL) on the error topic regardless of the
  `behavior.on.error` value.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: fail
  * Valid Values: `fail`, `ignore`, `log`
  * Importance: medium

## Partitioner Parameters (Backup and Restore Connector Only)

`partitioner.class`
: The partitioner to use when reading data from the store.
  <br/>
  * Type: class
  * Default: io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.DefaultPartitioner
  * Importance: high

`partition.field.name`
: The name of the partitioning field when FieldPartitioner is used.
  <br/>
  * Type: list
  * Default: “”
  * Importance: medium

`path.format`
: This configuration that was used to set the format of the data directories when partitioning with a TimeBasedPartitioner. For example, if you set `path.format` to `'year'=YYYY/'month'=MM/'day'=dd/'hour'=HH`, then a valid data directories would be: `/year=2015/month=12/day=07/hour=15/`.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: “”
  * Importance: medium

`format.bytearray.extension`
: Output file extension for Byte Array Format. Defaults to `.bin`.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: .bin
  * Importance: low

## Auto topic creation

For more information about Auto topic creation, see [Configuring Auto Topic Creation for Source Connectors](/kafka-connectors/self-managed/userguide.html#connect-source-auto-topic-creation).

Configuration properties accept regular expressions (regex) that are defined as
[Java regex](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html).

`topic.creation.groups`
: A list of group aliases that are used to define per-group topic configurations for matching topics. A `default` group always exists and matches all topics.
  <br/>
  * Type: List of String types
  * Default: empty
  * Possible Values: The values of this property refer to any additional groups. A `default` group is always defined for topic configurations.

`topic.creation.$alias.replication.factor`
: The replication factor for new topics created by the connector. This value must not be larger than the number of brokers in the Kafka cluster. If this value is larger than the number of Kafka brokers, an error occurs when the connector attempts to create a topic. This is a **required property** for the `default` group. This property is optional for any other group defined in `topic.creation.groups`. Other groups use the Kafka broker default value.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: n/a
  * Possible Values: `>= 1` for a specific valid value or `-1` to use the Kafka broker’s default value.

`topic.creation.$alias.partitions`
: The number of topic partitions created by this connector. This is a **required property** for the `default` group. This property is optional for any other group defined in `topic.creation.groups`. Other groups use the Kafka broker default value.
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: n/a
  * Possible Values: `>= 1` for a specific valid value or `-1` to use the Kafka broker’s default value.

`topic.creation.$alias.include`
: A list of strings that represent regular expressions that match topic names. This list is used to include topics with matching values, and apply this group’s specific configuration to the matching topics. `$alias` applies to any group defined in `topic.creation.groups`. This property does not apply to the `default` group.
  <br/>
  * Type: List of String types
  * Default: empty
  * Possible Values: Comma-separated list of exact topic names or regular expressions.

`topic.creation.$alias.exclude`
: A list of strings representing regular expressions that match topic names. This list is used to exclude topics with matching values from getting the group’s specfic configuration. `$alias` applies to any group defined in `topic.creation.groups`. This property does not apply to the `default` group. Note that exclusion rules override any inclusion rules for topics.
  <br/>
  * Type: List of String types
  * Default: empty
  * Possible Values: Comma-separated list of exact topic names or regular expressions.

`topic.creation.$alias.${kafkaTopicSpecificConfigName}`
: Any of the [Changing Broker Configurations Dynamically](/platform/current/kafka/dynamic-config.html#changing-broker-configurations-dynamically) for the version of the Kafka broker where the records will be written. The broker’s topic-level configuration value is used if the configuration is not specified for the rule. `$alias` applies to the `default` group as well as any group defined in `topic.creation.groups`.
  <br/>
  * Type: property values
  * Default: Kafka broker value

## CSFLE and CSPE configurations

`csfle.enabled`

Accepts a boolean value. CSFLE is enabled for the connector if `csfle.enabled` is set to True.

* Type: boolean
* Default: False

`auto.register.schemas`

Specifies if the Serializer should attempt to register the Schema with Schema Registry.

* Type: boolean
* Default: true
* Importance: medium

`use.latest.version`

Only applies when `auto.register.schemas` is set to false. If `auto.register.schemas` is set to false and `use.latest.version` is set to true, then instead of deriving a schema for the object passed to the client for serialization, Schema Registry uses the latest version of the schema in the subject for serialization.

* Type: boolean
* Default: true
* Importance: medium

<a id="s3-source-connector-license-config"></a>

## Confluent Platform license

`confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers`
: A list of host/port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster used for licensing. All servers in the cluster will be discovered from the initial connection. This list should be in the form <code>host1:port1,host2:port2,…</code>. Since these servers are just used for the initial connection to discover the full cluster membership (which may change dynamically), this list need not contain the full set of servers (you may want more than one, though, in case a server is down).
  <br/>
  * Type: list
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic`
: Name of the Kafka topic used for Confluent Platform configuration, including licensing information.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: \_confluent-command
  * Importance: low

`confluent.topic.replication.factor`
: The replication factor for the Kafka topic used for Confluent Platform configuration, including licensing information. This is used only if the topic does not already exist, and the default of 3 is appropriate for production use. If you are using a development environment with less than 3 brokers, you must set this to the number of brokers (often 1).
  <br/>
  * Type: int
  * Default: 3
  * Importance: low

### Confluent license properties

You can put license-related properties in the connector configuration, or in license-related properties in the
[Connect worker configuration](https://docs.confluent.io/kafka-connectors/self-managed/license.html#centralized-license-in-the-kconnect-long-worker) instead of in each connector configuration.

This connector is proprietary and requires a license. The license information is stored in the `_confluent-command`
topic. If the broker requires SSL for connections, you must include the security-related `confluent.topic.*` properties
as described below.

`confluent.license`
: Confluent issues enterprise license keys to each subscriber. The license key is text that you can copy and
  paste as the value for `confluent.license`. A trial license allows using the connector for a 30-day trial period. A developer license allows using the connector indefinitely for single-broker development environments.
  <br/>
  If you are a subscriber, contact Confluent Support for more information.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: “”
  * Valid Values: Confluent Platform license
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.ssl.truststore.location`
: The location of the trust store file.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.ssl.truststore.password`
: The password for the trust store file. If a password is not set access to the truststore is still available, but
  integrity checking is disabled.
  <br/>
  * Type: password
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.ssl.keystore.location`
: The location of the key store file. This is optional for client and can be used for two-way authentication for client.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.ssl.keystore.password`
: The store password for the key store file. This is optional for client and only needed if ssl.keystore.location is configured.
  <br/>
  * Type: password
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.ssl.key.password`
: The password of the private key in the key store file. This is optional for client.
  <br/>
  * Type: password
  * Default: null
  * Importance: high

`confluent.topic.security.protocol`
: Protocol used to communicate with brokers. Valid values are: PLAINTEXT, SSL, SASL_PLAINTEXT, SASL_SSL.
  <br/>
  * Type: string
  * Default: “PLAINTEXT”
  * Importance: medium

<a id="s3-source-license-topic-configuration"></a>

### License topic configuration

A Confluent enterprise license is stored in the `_confluent-command` topic.
This topic is created by default and contains the license that corresponds to
the license key supplied through the `confluent.license` property. No public
keys are stored in Kafka topics.

The following describes how the default `_confluent-command` topic is
generated under different scenarios:

* A 30-day trial license is automatically generated for the `_confluent-command` topic if you do not add the `confluent.license` property or leave this property empty (for example, `confluent.license=`).
* Adding a valid license key (for example, `confluent.license=<valid-license-key>`) adds a valid license in the `_confluent-command` topic.

Here is an example of the minimal properties for development and testing.

You can change the name of the `_confluent-command` topic using the
`confluent.topic` property (for instance, if your environment has strict
naming conventions). The example below shows this change and the configured
Kafka bootstrap server.

```none
confluent.topic=foo_confluent-command
confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
```

The example above shows the minimally required bootstrap server property that
you can use for development and testing. For a production environment, you add
the normal producer, consumer, and topic configuration properties to the
connector properties, prefixed with `confluent.topic.`.

### License topic ACLs

The `_confluent-command` topic contains the license that corresponds to the
license key supplied through the `confluent.license` property. It is created
by default. Connectors that access this topic require the following ACLs
configured:

* CREATE and DESCRIBE on the resource cluster, if the connector needs to create the topic.
* DESCRIBE, READ, and WRITE on the `_confluent-command` topic.

  #### IMPORTANT
  You can also use DESCRIBE and READ without WRITE to restrict access to
  read-only for license topic ACLs. If a topic exists, the LicenseManager
  will not try to create the topic.

You can provide access either individually for each principal that will
use the license or use a [wildcard entry](/platform/current/kafka/authorization.html#acl-wildcard-principals) to
allow all clients. The following examples show commands that you can use to
configure ACLs for the resource cluster and `_confluent-command` topic.

1. Set a CREATE and DESCRIBE ACL on the resource cluster:
   ```none
   kafka-acls --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --command-config adminclient-configs.conf \
   --add --allow-principal User:<principal> \
   --operation CREATE --operation DESCRIBE --cluster
   ```
2. Set a DESCRIBE, READ, and WRITE ACL on the `_confluent-command` topic:
   ```none
   kafka-acls --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --command-config adminclient-configs.conf \
   --add --allow-principal User:<principal> \
   --operation DESCRIBE --operation READ --operation WRITE --topic _confluent-command
   ```

### Override Default Configuration Properties

You can override the replication factor using
`confluent.topic.replication.factor`. For example, when using a Kafka cluster
as a destination with less than three brokers (for development and testing) you
should set the `confluent.topic.replication.factor` property to `1`.

You can override producer-specific properties by using the
`producer.override.*` prefix (for source connectors) and consumer-specific
properties by using the `consumer.override.*` prefix (for sink connectors).

You can use the defaults or customize the other properties as well. For example,
the `confluent.topic.client.id` property defaults to the name of the connector
with `-licensing` suffix. You can specify the configuration settings for
brokers that require SSL or SASL for client connections using this prefix.

You cannot override the cleanup policy of a topic because the topic always has a
single partition and is compacted. Also, do not specify serializers and
deserializers using this prefix; they are ignored if added.
