Class KinesisIO

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.io.kinesis.KinesisIO

@Experimental(value=SOURCE_SINK)
public final class KinesisIO
extends java.lang.Object

PTransforms for reading from Kinesis streams.

Example usage:

 p.apply(KinesisIO.read()
     .withStreamName("streamName")
     .withInitialPositionInStream(InitialPositionInStream.LATEST)
     .withAWSClientsProvider("AWS_KEY", _"AWS_SECRET", STREAM_REGION)
  .apply( ... ) // other transformations
 

As you can see you need to provide 3 things:

• name of the stream you're going to read
• position in the stream where reading should start. There are two options:
  • InitialPositionInStream.LATEST - reading will begin from end of the stream
  • InitialPositionInStream.TRIM_HORIZON - reading will begin at the very beginning of the stream
• data used to initialize AmazonKinesis and AmazonCloudWatch clients:
  • credentials (aws key, aws secret)
  • region where the stream is located

In case when you want to set up AmazonKinesis or AmazonCloudWatch client by your own (for example if you're using more sophisticated authorization methods like Amazon STS, etc.) you can do it by implementing AWSClientsProvider class:

 public class MyCustomKinesisClientProvider implements AWSClientsProvider {
   {@literal @}Override
   public AmazonKinesis getKinesisClient() {
     // set up your client here
   }

   public AmazonCloudWatch getCloudWatchClient() {
     // set up your client here
   }

 }
 

Usage is pretty straightforward:

 p.apply(KinesisIO.read()
    .withStreamName("streamName")
    .withInitialPositionInStream(InitialPositionInStream.LATEST)
    .withAWSClientsProvider(new MyCustomKinesisClientProvider())
  .apply( ... ) // other transformations
 

There’s also possibility to start reading using arbitrary point in time - in this case you need to provide Instant object:

 p.apply(KinesisIO.read()
     .withStreamName("streamName")
     .withInitialTimestampInStream(instant)
     .withAWSClientsProvider(new MyCustomKinesisClientProvider())
  .apply( ... ) // other transformations
