A large company receives files from external parties in Amazon EC2 throughout the day. At the end of the day, the files are combined into a single file, compressed into a gzip file, and uploaded to Amazon S3. The total size of all the files is close to 100 GB daily. Once the files are uploaded to Amazon S3, an AWS Batch program executes a COPY command to load the files into an Amazon Redshift cluster. Which program modification will accelerate the COPY process?
