Alicloud Data Lake Dlf Test

This is a minimal viability test for Alibaba Cloud's Data Lake Formation service. It walks you through verifying your AK/SK credentials are working by listing available OpenAPI metadata endpoints, then executing a single read-only API call to confirm connectivity. You'll either get successful metadata back or a clear permission error, both of which prove the integration works. It's meant as a quick sanity check before building actual data lake workflows, saving outputs to a dedicated test directory. The approach is straightforward: run a Python script, pick an API, test it, done. Good for confirming your Alibaba Cloud setup is ready without committing to a full implementation.
