Connector does not allow connecting with default credentials.
Closed this issue · 3 comments
The GoogleCredentialsBuilder supports falling back to environment based default credentials when a path or json has not been supplied.
The GcsSinkConfig however uses a "No Credentials" option when both are omitted.
We need a configuration that is able to allow the connector to actually use the environment based default credentials.
I am happy to contribute a fix, but would like to get consensus on the way you as a project would like to support this option.
Since "no credentials" is a valid option, we cannot remove that code path. Maybe we need to add a new configuration option that allows the code path for default credentials to be hit?
Suggest adding a new boolean option "gcs.credentials.default, that will allow default credentials to be used?
The following PR introduced the problem last year.
My preference would be to revert the behaviour back to how it was in the past, especially since that is the behaviour documented by the properties documentation.
