Hi Lorenzo,
I am not sure I follow the issue of awaiting a major release, we have seen
the major releases for AWS connectors being picked up quite fast so we can
just push for one. Plus the contribution is not a bug fix, additionally the
legacy source is not yet removed. hence I would personally not rush any
workaround in the apache AWS connectors repo but rather push for a release
once the feature is merged.
Best Regards
Ahmed Hamdy
