Stateful Functions offers an AWS Kinesis I/O Module for reading from and writing to Kinesis streams. It is based on Apache Flink's Kinesis connector. The Kinesis I/O Module is configurable in Yaml or Java.

  • This will be replaced by the TOC {:toc}

Dependency

To use the Kinesis I/O Module in Java, please include the following dependency in your pom.

Kinesis Ingress Spec

A KinesisIngressSpec declares an ingress spec for consuming from Kinesis stream.

It accepts the following arguments:

  1. The AWS region
  2. An AWS credentials provider
  3. A KinesisIngressDeserializer for deserializing data from Kinesis (Java only)
  4. The stream start position
  5. Properties for the Kinesis client
  6. The name of the stream to consume from

public class IngressSpecs {

public static final IngressIdentifier ID = new IngressIdentifier<>(User.class, “example”, “input-ingress”);

public static final IngressSpec kinesisIngress = KinesisIngressBuilder.forIdentifier(ID) .withAwsRegion(“us-west-1”) .withAwsCredentials(AwsCredentials.fromDefaultProviderChain()) .withDeserializer(UserDeserializer.class) .withStream(“stream-name”) .withStartupPosition(KinesisIngressStartupPosition.fromEarliest()) .withClientConfigurationProperty(“key”, “value”) .build(); } {% endhighlight %}

The ingress also accepts properties to directly configure the Kinesis client, using KinesisIngressBuilder#withClientConfigurationProperty(). Please refer to the Kinesis client configuration documentation for the full list of available properties. Note that configuration passed using named methods will have higher precedence and overwrite their respective settings in the provided properties.

Startup Position

The ingress allows configuring the startup position to be one of the following:

Latest (default)

Start consuming from the latest position, i.e. head of the stream shards.

Earlist

Start consuming from the earliest position possible.

Date

Starts from offsets that have an ingestion time larger than or equal to a specified date.

Kinesis Deserializer

The Kinesis ingress needs to know how to turn the binary data in Kinesis into Java objects. The KinesisIngressDeserializer allows users to specify such a schema. The T deserialize(IngressRecord ingressRecord) method gets called for each Kinesis record, passing the binary data and metadata from Kinesis.

@Override public User deserialize(IngressRecord ingressRecord) { try { return mapper.readValue(ingressRecord.getData(), User.class); } catch (IOException e) { LOG.debug(“Failed to deserialize record”, e); return null; } } } {% endhighlight %}

Kinesis Egress Spec

A KinesisEgressBuilder declares an egress spec for writing data out to a Kinesis stream.

It accepts the following arguments:

  1. The egress identifier associated with this egress
  2. The AWS credentials provider
  3. A KinesisEgressSerializer for serializing data into Kinesis (Java only)
  4. The AWS region
  5. Properties for the Kinesis client
  6. The number of max outstanding records before backpressure is applied

Please refer to the Kinesis producer default configuration properties documentation for the full list of available properties.

Kinesis Serializer

The Kinesis egress needs to know how to turn Java objects into binary data. The KinesisEgressSerializer allows users to specify such a schema. The EgressRecord serialize(T value) method gets called for each message, allowing users to set a value, and other metadata.

{% highlight java %} package org.apache.flink.statefun.docs.io.kinesis;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.flink.statefun.docs.models.User; import org.apache.flink.statefun.sdk.kinesis.egress.EgressRecord; import org.apache.flink.statefun.sdk.kinesis.egress.KinesisEgressSerializer; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class UserSerializer implements KinesisEgressSerializer {

private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(UserSerializer.class);

private static final String STREAM = “user-stream”;

private final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

@Override public EgressRecord serialize(User value) { try { return EgressRecord.newBuilder() .withPartitionKey(value.getUserId()) .withData(mapper.writeValueAsBytes(value)) .withStream(STREAM) .build(); } catch (IOException e) { LOG.info(“Failed to serializer user”, e); return null; } } } {% endhighlight %}

AWS Region

Both the Kinesis ingress and egress can be configured to a specific AWS region.

Default Provider Chain (default)

Consults AWS's default provider chain to determine the AWS region.

Specific

Specifies an AWS region using the region's unique id.

Custom Endpoint

Connects to an AWS region through a non-standard AWS service endpoint. This is typically used only for development and testing purposes.

AWS Credentials

Both the Kinesis ingress and egress can be configured using standard AWS credential providers.

Default Provider Chain (default)

Consults AWS’s default provider chain to determine the AWS credentials.

Basic

Specifies the AWS credentials directly with provided access key ID and secret access key strings.

Profile

Specifies the AWS credentials using an AWS configuration profile, along with the profile's configuration path.
