Hi Team!

In case of multiple S3 sink connectors mapped to the same s3 bucket, does the s3 sink connector supports single .indexes directory for multiple sink connectors?

Thanks,  
Samdan

Hi @shaik_ahmed,

Yes, multiple S3 sink connectors can indeed share a single `.indexes` directory within the same S3 bucket, provided that each connector is configured with a unique connector name.

The uniqueness of the connector name is crucial as it serves as the prefix for the key of the index file within the `.indexes` directory. As long as each connector has a distinct name assigned, the connectors can coexist and operate as expected within the shared directory structure.

Should you have any further questions or need additional clarification, feel free to ask!

Best regards,

David.
