Introducing support for ListShards API. This API is used in place of DescribeStream API to provide more throughput during ShardSyncTask. Please consult the AWS Documentation for ListShards for more information.
- ListShards supports higher call rate, which should reduce instances of throttling when attempting to synchronize the shard list.
- WARNING:
ListShards
is a new API, and may require updating any explicit IAM policies - Added configuration parameters for ListShards usage
Name Default Description listShardsBackoffTimeInMillis 1500 ms This is the default backoff time between 2 ListShards calls when throttled. listShardsRetryAttempts 50 This is the maximum number of times the KinesisProxy will retry to make ListShards calls on being throttled. -
Updating the version of AWS Java SDK to 1.11.272.
- Version 1.11.272 is now the minimum support version of the SDK.
-
Deprecating the following methods, and classes. These methods, and classes will be removed in a future release.
- Deprecated IKinesisProxy#getStreamInfo.
- Deprecated IKinesisProxyFactory.
- Deprecated KinesisProxyFactory.
- Deprecated certain KinesisProxy constructors.
- Allow providing a custom IKinesisProxy implementation.
- Checkpointing on a different thread should no longer emit a warning about NullMetricsScope.
- Upgraded the AWS Java SDK to version 1.11.271
- Allow disabling check for the case where a child shard has an open parent shard.
There is a race condition where it's possible for the a parent shard to appear open, while having child shards. This check can now be disabled by settingignoreUnexpectedChildShards
to true. - Upgraded the AWS SDK for Java to 1.11.261
-
Fixed issues with leases losses due to
ExpiredIteratorException
inPrefetchGetRecordsCache
andAsynchronousFetchingStrategy
.
PrefetchGetRecordsCache will request for a new iterator and start fetching data again. -
Added warning message for long running tasks.
Logging long running tasks can be enabled by setting the following configuration property:Name Default Description logWarningForTaskAfterMillis
Not set Milliseconds after which the logger will log a warning message for the long running task -
Handling spurious lease renewal failures gracefully.
Added better handling of DynamoDB failures when updating leases. These failures would occur when a request to DynamoDB appeared to fail, but was actually successful. -
ShutdownTask gets retried if the previous attempt on the ShutdownTask fails.
-
Fix for using maxRecords from
KinesisClientLibConfiguration
inGetRecordsCache
for fetching records.
- Don't add a delay for synchronous requests to Kinesis
Removes a delay that had been added for synchronousGetRecords
calls to Kinesis.
-
Add prefetching of records from Kinesis
Prefetching will retrieve and queue additional records from Kinesis while the application is processing existing records.
Prefetching can be enabled by settingdataFetchingStrategy
toPREFETCH_CACHED
. Once enabled an additional fetching thread will be started to retrieve records from Kinesis. Retrieved records will be held in a queue until the application is ready to process them.
Pre-fetching supports the following configuration values:Name Default Description dataFetchingStrategy
DEFAULT
Which data fetching strategy to use maxPendingProcessRecordsInput
3 The maximum number of process records input that can be queued maxCacheByteSize
8 MiB The maximum number of bytes that can be queued maxRecordsCount
30,000 The maximum number of records that can be queued idleMillisBetweenCalls
1,500 ms The amount of time to wait between calls to Kinesis
- Only advance the shard iterator for the accepted response.
This fixes a race condition in theKinesisDataFetcher
when it's being used to make asynchronous requests. The shard iterator is now only advanced when the retriever callsDataFetcherResult#accept()
.
- Create a new completion service for each request.
This ensures that canceled tasks are discarded. This will prevent a cancellation exception causing issues processing records.
- Call shutdown on the retriever when the record processor is being shutdown
This fixes a bug that could leak threads if using theAsynchronousGetRecordsRetrievalStrategy
is being used.
The asynchronous retriever is only used whenKinesisClientLibConfiguration#retryGetRecordsInSeconds
, andKinesisClientLibConfiguration#maxGetRecordsThreadPool
are set.
- Add support for two phase checkpoints
Applications can now set a pending checkpoint, before completing the checkpoint operation. Once the application has completed its checkpoint steps, the final checkpoint will clear the pending checkpoint.
Should the checkpoint fail the attempted sequence number is provided in theInitializationInput#getPendingCheckpointSequenceNumber
otherwise the value will be null. - Support timeouts, and retry for GetRecords calls.
Applications can now set timeouts for GetRecord calls to Kinesis. As part of setting the timeout, the application must also provide a thread pool size for concurrent requests. - Notification when the lease table is throttled
When writes, or reads, to the lease table are throttled a warning will be emitted. If you're seeing this warning you should increase the IOPs for your lease table to prevent processing delays. - Support configuring the graceful shutdown timeout for MultiLang Clients
This adds support for setting the timeout that the Java process will wait for the MutliLang client to complete graceful shutdown. The timeout can be configured by addingshutdownGraceMillis
to the properties file set to the number of milliseconds to wait.
- Support timeouts for calls to the MultiLang Daemon
This adds support for setting a timeout when dispatching records to the client record processor. If the record processor doesn't respond within the timeout the parent Java process will be terminated. This is a temporary fix to handle cases where the KCL becomes blocked while waiting for a client record processor.
The timeout for the this can be set by adding
timeoutInSeconds = <timeout value>
. The default for this is no timeout.
Setting this can cause the KCL to exit suddenly, before using this ensure that you have an automated restart for your application

- General
- Allow disabling shard synchronization at startup.
- Applications can disable shard synchronization at startup. Disabling shard synchronization can application startup times for very large streams.
- PR #102
- Applications can now request a graceful shutdown, and record processors that implement the IShutdownNotificationAware will be given a chance to checkpoint before being shutdown.
- This adds a new interface, and a new method on Worker.

- MultiLangDaemon
- Add support for time based iterators (See GetShardIterator Documentation)
- Allow Prioritization of Parent Shards for Task Assignment
- PR #95
The
KinesisClientLibconfiguration
now supports providing aShardPrioritization
strategy. This strategy controls how theWorker
determines whichShardConsumer
to call next. This can improve processing for streams that split often, such as DynamoDB Streams.
