Description
The existing Amazon S3 repository connector currently does not have any documentation and it has not been touched by a developer in quite a while. This issue is to track the work done to document, test and improve both the documentation and the existing S3 connector.
In the process of the development and tests of the Alfresco BFSI output connector we need to verify what connectors we can support, crawling and processing documents from an S3 bucket would be a feature that will have high demand on several migration use cases.
While testing the existing S3 repository connector, I got the connection working with my aws account and key/secret pair. When i crawl my S3 bucket i'm getting this attributes on each document object that is crawled.

Description of the attributes :
ETag (entity tag - Type: String) is a hash of the object. The ETag reflects changes only to the contents of an object, not its metadata. The ETag may or may not be an MD5 digest of the object data. Whether or not it is depends on how the object was created and how it is encrypted as described below:
Objects created by the PUT Object, POST Object, or Copy operation, or through the AWS Management Console, and are encrypted by SSE-S3 or plaintext, have ETags that are an MD5 digest of their object data.
Objects created by the PUT Object, POST Object, or Copy operation, or through the AWS Management Console, and are encrypted by SSE-C or SSE-KMS, have ETags that are not an MD5 digest of their object data.
If an object is created by either the Multipart Upload or Part Copy operation, the ETag is not an MD5 digest, regardless of the method of encryption.
