title: Remote Partitioning with S3
body: <p>I'm trying to research the feasibility of using SCDF to launch Spring Batch jobs on an EKS cluster as Spring Cloud tasks.   This seems to be pretty obviously supported according to the docs.  The data we need to process is in an S3 bucket</p>
  <p>Can anyone shed some light on built-in support for remote partitioning on S3?    I believe we may end up using a tasklet rather than ItemReader.   If we go this road, will that matter?   By remote partitioning,  I understand we avoid sending the data over the wire and allow the work to scale across multiple kubernetes pods.  Our data is JSON data, so it's not clear to me beyond the S3 hurdle how the SCDF/Spring Batch stuff would be able to split records apart?</p>
