Apply s3 lifecycle policy across buckets to clear up failed multi-part uploads

aws-cli/1.14.2 Python/3.6.3 Linux/4.14.3-1-ARCH botocore/1.8.6

When getting a life cycle policy from one bucket, and applying it to another, I expect it to work:

~/s3$ aws --profile mine s3api get-bucket-lifecycle --bucket archive.webconverger.com > multipart.json
~/s3$ cat multipart.json
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "Expiration": {
                "ExpiredObjectDeleteMarker": true
            },
            "ID": "Multipart",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload": {
                "DaysAfterInitiation": 1
            }
        }
    ]
}
~/s3$ aws --profile mine s3api put-bucket-lifecycle --bucket vueaws.dabase.com --lifecycle-configuration file://multipart.json

Parameter validation failed:
Missing required parameter in LifecycleConfiguration.Rules[0]: "Prefix"

As you can see it fails because it's missing a prefix. Why didn't the "get-bucket-lifecycle" receive that element in response or why does "put-bucket-lifecycle" require it?

I'm also worried that if there is an existing life cycle policy on a bucket, that I will effectively overwrite it with this API. I guess there is no way to merge policies?

This looks like a service question to me, we only send the requests and show the responses, any service usage related questions should be directed to either support or the service forums. There are too many services these days for us SDK maintainers to be experts in all of them.

It's not a service issue. It's a policy mapping issue where a fetched policy won't apply to another policy, which it should. Please re-open.
