AWS S3 file properties

Hello,

 

I would like to know if there is a way to get file properties (like size, timestamp) of a file places in S3 bucket. 

 

I have tried the following but unable to get file size and timestamps. Also does this differ if the file in S3 bucket is .gz file.

 tS3 Connection

tS3FileList --iterate--> tFIleProperties --iterate--> tIterateToFlow --main--> tLogRow

Thanks,

A

SOLVED!

 

If your tS3List component is called, for example, tS3List_1, simply add the following entry to a Date column in the subsequent tIterateToFlow:

 

objectSummary_tS3List_1.getLastModified()

 

This is relying on undocumented internal variables. I have tested it in Talend v6.3 and 7.1. Another drawback is that if you copy and paste a pair of components, the globalMap.get("tS3List_1_CURRENT_KEY") call will be updated with the new component name, but the internal variable objectSummary_tS3List_1 will not be.

Hello,

So far, you have to retrieve your files from S3 and keep them on local firstly.

The work flow should be: tS3Connection-->tS3Get-->tFileProperties

Best regards

Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,

tS3Connection-->tS3Get-->tFileProperties

In this approach once file gets downloaded(using ts3Get) it will have current time stamp on it. we will not get the actual time stamp which it has in S3 bucket.

how to get the time stamp of file without downloading from server?

Any inputs?

Thanks,
Sid

Hi Guys,

 

I got the work around for this issue. It's using S3 Command line.

 

PFA job,component and console output images.

 

Thanks,

Sid

Hi,

 

I have got same constraints. Cannot download the file locally. 

 

We can use AWS CLI however then go off from using the components. As a suggestion can we have something in S3Get or a seperate component to read the file properties on S3?

Bumping this thread - has anything changed in the last 2 years? I can't see anything in the v7.0 docs.

 

I want to check to see if the files all have timestamps that are close together, i.e. there are no files left over from a previous day. There are hundreds of files and they are all many gigabytes so I can't download them!
