------------------------------------------
Summary: Respect local KPL queue size in FlinkKinesisProducer when
adding records to KPL client
Key: FLINK-7622
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7622
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Kinesis Connector
Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
This issue was brought to discussion by [~sthm] offline.
Currently, records are added to the Kinesis KPL producer client without
checking the number of outstanding records within the local KPL queue. This
manner is basically neglecting backpressure when producing to Kinesis through
KPL, and can therefore exhaust system resources.
We should respect {{producer.getOutstandingRecordsCount()}} as a measure of
backpressure, and propagate backpressure upstream by blocking further sink
invocations when some threshold of outstanding record count is exceeded. The
recommended threshold [1] seems to be 10,000.
