Alexey Romanenko commented on BEAM-9439:
----------------------------------------
[~titmus] Thanks, sounds good to me as a trade-off solution. Perhaps we can
have an +optional+ {{getSplitBacklogBytes()}} implementation based on Enhanced
Shard-level Metrics, as Pawel suggested, but I think it will a different Jira
for that.
I'll assign this Jira to you if you mind, feel free to reassign it to
[~m.juraszek]. And I'll be happy to review a PR once it will be ready.
> KinesisReader does not report correct backlog statistics
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-9439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9439
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: io-java-kinesis
> Reporter: Sam Whittle
> Priority: Major
>
> The KinesisReader implementing KinesisIO reports backlog by implementing the
> UnboundedSource.getTotalBacklogBytes()
> method as opposed to the
> UnboundedSource.getSplitBacklogBytes()
> This value is supposed to represent the total backlog across all shards.
> This function is implemented by calling
> SimplifiedKinesisClient.getBacklogBytes with the watermark of the kinesis
> shards managed within the UnboundedReader instance. As this watermark may be
> further ahead than the watermark across all shards, this may miss backlog
> bytes.
> An additional concern is that the watermark is calculated using a
> WatermarkPolicy, which means that the watermark may be inconsistent to the
> kinesis timestamp for querying backlog.
