Research direction

Start by reproducing the loader failure with a file whose name contains spaces, then trace how that filename is represented in the manifest and how the CloudWatch error is produced. Done means such files load successfully without the “Mandatory url is not present in manifest file” error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If the files being loaded have spaces in them, error "Mandatory url is not present in manifest file" appears in the Cloudwatch logs
