------------------------------------------------------------------
[~pawel.kaczmarczyk] I think now I see why {{getTotalBacklogBytes()}} was
implemented, thanks.
{quote}As I understand, to fix getTotalBacklogBytes() we would need the
watermark of the whole stream, not just current split, right?
{quote}
I think so if we can't get the number of bytes per shard and implement
\{{getSplitBacklogBytes(}}
In the same time, I doubt that implementation based on Enhanced Shard-level
Metrics should be default since, as you mentioned, it will charge additionally.
Perhaps, it could be an alternative solution for those who wants to use it.

> KinesisReader does not report correct backlog statistics

> Key: BEAM-9439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9439
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: io-java-kinesis
> Reporter: Sam Whittle
> Priority: Major
>
> The KinesisReader implementing KinesisIO reports backlog by implementing the
> UnboundedSource.getTotalBacklogBytes()
> method as opposed to the
> UnboundedSource.getSplitBacklogBytes()
> This value is supposed to represent the total backlog across all shards.
> This function is implemented by calling
> SimplifiedKinesisClient.getBacklogBytes with the watermark of the kinesis
> shards managed within the UnboundedReader instance. As this watermark may be
> further ahead than the watermark across all shards, this may miss backlog
> bytes.
> An additional concern is that the watermark is calculated using a
> WatermarkPolicy, which means that the watermark may be inconsistent to the
> kinesis timestamp for querying backlog.
