    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">I agree with Nik, it seems reasonably
      fast in my experience.&nbsp; Note that S3 doesn't have a file system,
      it's just an indexed object.&nbsp; So you can write your object once
      and read it many times, but there isn't any updating, file
      locking, etc.&nbsp; I typically use S3 for storage and archiving or to
      provide a static data reference for things that aren't going to
      change, but need to be widely available.&nbsp; I know those that use S3
      for static webpages, or for storing logs, etc.&nbsp; If your data is
      going to change often, you might want to do things a different
      way.<br>

Is it possible to bring data into my cluster from Amazon S3?  I didn't
see it in the manual.

Thanks for reading!
