I have a huge (~6 GB) file on Amazon S3 and want to get the first 100 lines of it without having to download the whole thing. Is this possible?
Here's what I'm doing now:
aws cp s3://foo/bar - | head -n 100
But this takes a while to execute. I'm confused -- shouldn't head close the pipe once it's read enough lines, causing aws cp to crash with a BrokenPipeError before it has time to download the entire file?

In the Amazon S3 console, choose your S3 bucket, choose the file that you want to open or download, choose Actions, and then choose Open or Download. If you are downloading an object, specify where you want to save it.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/ . In the Buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that contains the object. In the Objects list, choose the name of the object for which you want an overview. The object overview opens.
The "_$folder$" files are placeholders. Apache Hadoop creates these files when you use the -mkdir command to create a folder in an S3 bucket. Hadoop doesn't create the folder until you PUT the first object.
Using the Range HTTP header in a GET request, you can retrieve a specific range of bytes in an object stored in Amazon S3. (see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectGET.html)
if you use aws cli you can use aws s3api get-object --range bytes=0-xxx, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/get-object.html
It is not exactly as a number of lines but should allow you to retrieve your file in part so avoid downloading the full object
