Does this plugin delete files from your S3 Bucket? #259

Closed HenleyChiu closed 8 years ago

HenleyChiu commented 8 years ago

Does this plugin ever delete files from your S3 bucket when snapshotting or restoring? Or does it only insert and update files?

Reason I am asking is because I am considering implementing MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) for Deletes in S3, which means all deletes must pass an authorization header.

It also deletes files when they are not needed anymore.

What if you're just restoring? Do you need delete privileges on the bucket files?

May be not needed if you use it with read only mode. IIRC it comes in elasticsearch 2.2... (May be 2.1).
