------------------------------------------
Summary: Kinesis consumer doc examples should demonstrate
preferred default credentials provider
Key: FLINK-8416
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8416
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, Kinesis Connector
Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
Fix For: 1.3.3, 1.5.0, 1.4.1
The Kinesis consumer docs
[here](https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.5/dev/connectors/kinesis.html#kinesis-consumer)
demonstrate providing credentials by explicitly supplying the AWS Access ID
and Key.
The always preferred approach for AWS, unless running locally, is to
automatically fetch the shipped credentials from the AWS environment.
That is actually the default behaviour of the Kinesis consumer, so the docs
should demonstrate that more clearly.
