Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2822 Thanks for the review @StephanEwen. I'm pretty sure this doesn't affect the normal Kinesis shard discovery. I'll give it some final tests before merging (would like to get this in before the next 1.1.4 RC). Yes, using `describeStream(streamName)` only will be problematic for users with large numbers of shards, because the whole list may not be able to be returned in a single call. So that's most likely not a solution we can consider.
