Description

In the Drill S3 documentation https://drill.apache.org/docs/s3-storage-plugin/
Section "Providing AWS Credentials" describing 3 ways to setup AWS S3 credentials in Drill:

• storage plugin;
• Drill-specific core-site.xml;
• existing S3 configuration for Hadoop.

Third item is not supported by Drill. Hadoop core-site.xml config file may contains S3 credentials, but Drill doesn't read any S3 parameters directly from Hadoop config file.

Third item

In a Hadoop environment, you can use the existing S3 configuration for Hadoop. The AWS credentials should already be defined. All you need to do is configure the S3 storage plugin.

should be removed from the document https://drill.apache.org/docs/s3-storage-plugin/
