Volume Configuration:

indexes.conf

[volume:<volumne_name>]
storageType = remote
path = <scheme>/<remote-location-specifier>
remote.s3.endpoint = <URL of S3 API>
remote.s3.secret_key =
remote.s3.access_key = 

Index Configuration:
indexes.conf

  [index_name]
    homePath =
    coldPath = <path required ,but not used>
