------------------------------------------
Summary: Configurable idle time between getRecords requests to
Kinesis shards
Key: FLINK-4018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4018
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Streaming Connectors
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
Currently, the Kinesis consumer is calling getRecords() right after finishing
previous calls. This results in easily reaching Amazon's limitation of 5 GET
requests per shard per second. Although the code already has backoff & retry
mechanism, this will affect other applications consuming from the same Kinesis
stream.
Along with this new configuration and the already existing
`KinesisConfigConstants.CONFIG_SHARD_RECORDS_PER_GET`, users will have more
control on the desired throughput behaviour for the Kinesis consumer.
