Description

Assuming the AWS SDK allows this, I think this would be a better way to configure it for any usage on AWS itself (with endpoint still being an option for AWS-compatible non-AWS use cases). Unless users actually care about a specific endpoint, this is easier. Perhaps less important, HADOOP-14023 shows that inferring the region from the endpoint (which granted, isn't that necessary) doesn't work very well at all.
