This is a backport of a previously released feature: CHANGELOG: New option to force S3 SDFS backend
Background
The S3 SDFS backend was previously only available for URLs containing amazonaws.com or storage.googleapis.com.
New Feature
There is now a new remote volume option use_s3_protocol, which can be used for all S3-compatible storage implementations from 3rd-party providers. Note that this option is not necessary for AWS/GCP URLs: They will automatically select the S3 backend as before; the new use_s3_protocol is intended only for URLs that don’t already look like S3 URLs.
