Description

The AWS Frankfurt data center supports only the newer AWS authentication mechanism version 4 (generally called AWS4, AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 or just V4).
Flume-ng currently doesn’t support the V4 and hence cannot be used with S3 buckets in the Frankfurt data center.
The command line or the flume-env.sh option -Dcom.amazonaws.services.s3.enableV4 also doesnt work, hence it is an issue at the toolkit/SDK level: https://bitbucket.org/jmurty/jets3t/issue/183/support-for-aws-signature-version-4
