How to create a new folder in amazon S3 bucket?

Question

I am using AEM with Amazon S3. AEM provides connector for S3 but normally S3 store everything in flat structure, my requirement is to create a new folder in my S3 bucket after the folder reach a particular storing limit. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Short answer is No.

AEM follows it's own structure and it is not customisable ie you cannot override the folder creation logic. This is tightly integrated into the NodeStore way's of referencing the S3 objects via referencing so changing it will be a huge task. It's not impossible to achieve (by rewriting the connector) but it cannot be done by a configuration in AEM 6.0-6.2 yet.
