Add support for AWS session tokens #30414

AWS supports the creation and use of credentials that are only valid for a
fixed period of time. These credentials comprise three parts: the usual access
key and secret key, together with a session token. This commit adds support for
these three-part credentials to the EC2 discovery plugin and the S3 repository
plugin.

Note that session tokens are only valid for a limited period of time and yet
there is no mechanism for refreshing or rotating them when they expire without
restarting Elasticsearch. Nonetheless, this feature is already useful for
nodes that need only run for a few days, such as for training, testing or
evaluation. #29135 tracks the work towards allowing these credentials to be
refreshed at runtime.

Resolves #16428

Thanks @DaveCTurner, this looks great. I'm curious to see how it will play with reloadable secured settings (#29135.

Anyway, do you think that we can have an integration test in :qa:amazon-s3 for this? That might be tricky to rotate tokens on infra, but I think it worth the trouble.

assertThat(defaultSettings.readTimeoutMillis, is(ClientConfiguration.DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT));
assertThat(defaultSettings.maxRetries, is(ClientConfiguration.DEFAULT_RETRY_POLICY.getMaxErrorRetry()));

Nit: you can build the settings outside the expectThrows block, I find it easier to "spot" where the exception is expected to be thrown

This is tricky but I think "an" is preferred here: S3 is pronounced "ess three" which begins with a vowel. However, on reflection these docs should refer to EC2 and not S3, so I pushed c93e568.

@tlrx I duplicated the QA tests as we discussed, and tightened up the auth checks in AmazonS3TestServer a bit in order to check that the right bucket is being accessed. This is ready for another look.

It looks great, I left more comment, mostly around the naming of the env vars (I'd like to keep the old names) and also allow the tests to be executed separatly.

I don't think it's needed, returning an error seems the right thing to do

It is needed, but it's not ListBuckets so I pushed 63caae2. It's the multi-object delete API, which puts the bucket name in the Host header rather than in a URL parameter, which I do not think is worth adding the extra plumbing for.

s3Bucket = 'bucket_test'
s3BasePath = 'integration_test'

Hopefully we'll split this into two QA projects in a follow up PR, so for now I'd prefer to not rename the existing env vars.

I understand the permanent/temporary renaming for repositories or buckets but I still think that the env vars names should reflect the feature implemented, ie keeping amazon_s3_access_key for the default use case, and maybe amazon_s3_access_key_for_session_tokens.

I have reverted the changes to the names of the existing environment variables.

Can we set the defaults in separate condition blocks? So that if a set [amazon_s3_access_key/amazon_s3_secret_key/amazon_s3_base_path/amazon_s3_bucket] is set it runs against the real service whatever is set for amazon_s3_access_key_for_session_tokens

As it currently stands, I think it makes more sense to either test entirely against the fake fixture or entirely against the real service (and therefore not run the fake fixture). If there is a followup that allows these two cases to run separately then hopefully it's not too hard to disentangle this then.

I'd prefer if we continue to pass the bucket names to the fixture so that we can reuse it in different projects more easily.

Ok, I've reverted that. There is, however, already some other coupling (duplication of string values) between the build.gradle file and the fake S3 fixture that would need attention to use this fixture elsewhere.

@tlrx I have merged master, which was nontrivial thanks to #31383, and addressed some of your comments. I can't see how these two cases (permanent vs temporary credentials) are eventually going to work as two separate Gradle tasks, so I've held off on any changes that depends on that. I would prefer to merge this and proceed from there, but if you think anything here will prove obstructive then it'd be better not to.

Sorry for the time it took me to review this.

This PR should be merged before #31688, in which the QA project is dropped.

As a follow ups:

  • we need to add a test for session tokens with discovery-ec2
  • this PR will prevent the current third party tests to run on CI until session tokens are injected to the Jenkins job (that's why I suggested to decorrelate env vars)
  • I think we can clean up test and have something similar to Fixture for Minio testing #31688, ie executing the same tests but with a different repository set up. We talked about this already and decided to do this as a follow up as this PR was already large enough. I can take care of this and mark you as a reviewer because there are other things I want to clean up.
