reading amazon s3 file

Question

reading amazon s3 file

chrisvidal opened this issue 7 years ago · 6 comments

Hi,
how would we read a file stored on a amazon s3 services?
I saw that the method parse is accepting a string and then the method is using a SplFileObject PHP class to handle the file.
I didnt have time to try yet,
Would that work or will I need any adaptation ?

thanks

@chrisvidal I have never tried that, but I think you will be able to read the CSV file after you download it from S3 bucket and store it as a temporary file in your EC2 instance.

Thanks @suin for your answer
my issue is that I am having an Autoscaling config, so I might have 2 EC2 instances and I wont know which one is used after the copy.
Does my question make sense ?

@chrisvidal I don't think that there is problem, even if some autoscaled-instances share, copy and read a same file. To make it clear, could you tell me a specific use case which makes problems?

thanks @suin
I will try to implement that over the week then the CSV file import should follow the same principle in that case.
