| s3.endpoint | | Configure an alternative endpoint of the S3 service for the FileIO to access. This could be used to use S3FileIO with any s3-compatible object storage service that has a different endpoint, or access a private S3 endpoint in a virtual private cloud. |
-| s3.access-key-id | admin | Configure the static access key id used to access the FileIO. |
-| s3.secret-access-key | password | Configure the static secret access key used to access the FileIO. |
