The Amazon Kinesis Client Library for Java (Amazon KCL) enables Java developers to easily consume and process data from Amazon Kinesis.
- Provides an easy-to-use programming model for processing data using Amazon Kinesis
- Helps with scale-out and fault-tolerant processing
- Sign up for AWS — Before you begin, you need an AWS account. For more information about creating an AWS account and retrieving your AWS credentials, see AWS Account and Credentials in the AWS SDK for Java Developer Guide.
- Sign up for Amazon Kinesis — Go to the Amazon Kinesis console to sign up for the service and create an Amazon Kinesis stream. For more information, see Create an Amazon Kinesis Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide.
- Minimum requirements — To use the Amazon Kinesis Client Library, you'll need Java 1.7+. For more information about Amazon Kinesis Client Library requirements, see Before You Begin in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide.
- Using the Amazon Kinesis Client Library — The best way to get familiar with the Amazon Kinesis Client Library is to read Developing Record Consumer Applications in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide.
After you've downloaded the code from GitHub, you can build it using Maven. To disable GPG signing in the build, use this command: mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true
For producer-side developers using the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL), the KCL integrates without additional effort. When the KCL retrieves an aggregated Amazon Kinesis record consisting of multiple KPL user records, it will automatically invoke the KPL to extract the individual user records before returning them to the user.
To make it easier for developers to write record processors in other languages, we have implemented a Java based daemon, called MultiLangDaemon that does all the heavy lifting. Our approach has the daemon spawn a sub-process, which in turn runs the record processor, which can be written in any language. The MultiLangDaemon process and the record processor sub-process communicate with each other over STDIN and STDOUT using a defined protocol. There will be a one to one correspondence amongst record processors, child processes, and shards. For Python developers specifically, we have abstracted these implementation details away and expose an interface that enables you to focus on writing record processing logic in Python. This approach enables KCL to be language agnostic, while providing identical features and similar parallel processing model across all languages.
- Place holder for release 1.7.0
- Change LeaseManager to call DescribeTable before attempting to create the lease table.
- Allow DynamoDB lease table name to be specified
- Add approximateArrivalTimestamp for JsonFriendlyRecord
- Shutdown lease renewal thread pool on exit.
- Wait for CloudWatch publishing thread to finish before exiting.
- Added unit, and integration tests for the library.
- Upgrade to AWS SDK for Java 1.11.14
- Maven Artifact Signing Change
- Artifacts are now signed by the identity
Amazon Kinesis Tools <[email protected]>
- Artifacts are now signed by the identity
- Fix format exception caused by DEBUG log in LeaseTaker Issue # 68
- Support for specifying max leases per worker and max leases to steal at a time.
- Support for specifying initial DynamoDB table read and write capacity.
- Support for parallel lease renewal.
- Support for graceful worker shutdown.
- Change DefaultCWMetricsPublisher log level to debug. PR # 49
- Avoid NPE in MLD record processor shutdown if record processor was not initialized. Issue # 29
- Expose approximateArrivalTimestamp for Records in processRecords API call.
- Restores compatibility with dynamodb-streams-kinesis-adapter (which was broken in 1.4.0).
- KCL maven artifact 1.5.0 does not work with JDK 7. This release addresses this issue.
- Metrics Enhancements
- Support metrics level and dimension configurations to control CloudWatch metrics emitted by the KCL.
- Add new metrics that track time spent in record processor methods.
- Disable WorkerIdentifier dimension by default.
- Exception Reporting — Do not silently ignore exceptions in ShardConsumer.
- AWS SDK Component Dependencies — Depend only on AWS SDK components that are used.
- Integration with the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL)
- Automatically de-aggregate records put into the Kinesis stream using the KPL.
- Support checkpointing at the individual user record level when multiple user records are aggregated into one Kinesis record using the KPL.
See Consumer De-aggregation with the KCL for details.
- A new metric called "MillisBehindLatest", which tracks how far consumers are from real time, is now uploaded to CloudWatch.
- MultiLangDaemon — Changes to the MultiLangDaemon to make it easier to provide a custom worker.
- Multi-Language Support — Amazon KCL now supports implementing record processors in any language by communicating with the daemon over STDIN and STDOUT. Python developers can directly use the Amazon Kinesis Client Library for Python to write their data processing applications.
- Checkpointing at a specific sequence number — The IRecordProcessorCheckpointer interface now supports checkpointing at a sequence number specified by the record processor.
- Set region — KinesisClientLibConfiguration now supports setting the region name to indicate the location of the Amazon Kinesis service. The Amazon DynamoDB table and Amazon CloudWatch metrics associated with your application will also use this region setting.
