Migrating Files from the Edge Cluster to AWS S3

Describes how new or changed files are automatically uploaded to AWS S3 by the File Migration service.

The File Migration service for MapR Edge clusters monitors a set of configured directory trees (referred to as policies in the service UI) on the MapR Edge cluster for new and changed files. If the service detects new or changed files, it automatically uploads them to AWS S3 (Amazon’s storage environment) using the AWS SDK TransferManager object. The File Migration service is a long-running process that is controlled by Warden.

NOTE For information about installing File Migration Service on your MapR Edge cluster, see Installing the File Migration Service on the Edge Cluster.
