Description

As part of the effort to make Flink completely independent from Hadoop, Flink needs its own S3 filesystem implementation. Currently Flink relies on Hadoop's S3a and S3n file systems.

An own S3 file system can be implemented using the AWS SDK. As the basis of the implementation, the Hadoop File System can be used (Apache Licensed, should be okay to reuse some code as long as we do a proper attribution).
