------------------------------------
Hi [~tzulitai],
I would like to take over this issue and here is my proposal.
Proposed Changes:
# Introduces two models :
## {{KinesisStreamShardV2}}: It stores the stream name and all the information
in {{Shard}} to decouple with AWS library, and will be the new state.
## {{KinesisStreamShardHandle}}: It is same as {{KinesisStreamShard}} but will
not be able to be serialized. It is used in {{KinesisFetcher}}
and {{ShardConsumer}} to distinguish from the legacy {{KinesisStreamShard}}
state so that it can be changed along with any update in AWS library.
# Add {{KinesisStreamShardHandle}} in {{KinesisStreamShardState}}.
# Make {{KinesisStreamShardV2}} and {{SequenceNumber}} be POJO type.
# Two util functions to convert between {{KinesisStreamShardV2}} and
{{KinesisStreamShardHandle}}
# An util function to convert {{KinesisStreamShard}} to {{KinesisStreamShardV2}}
Test Plan:
# Update all tests with the whole new models and modified models.
# Migrate test that makes sure states will be restored if there is only legacy
state in state backend.
# Unit test for those util functions.
# Test the new state will be serialized by POJO serializer.
> Avoid directly serializing AWS's Shard class in Kinesis consumer's checkpoints

>
> Currently, the Kinesis consumer's checkpoints directly serialize AWS's
> {{Shard}} instances in checkpoints. This makes bumping AWS library versions
> hard, since any change to the {{Shard}} class by AWS will break checkpoint
> compatibility.
> We should either have custom serialization for {{KinesisStreamShard}}, or
> disintegrate the information in {{Shard}}. Ideally, it would be best to make
> {{KinesisStreamShard}} and {{SequenceNumber}} to be non-serializable, hence
> avoiding Java serialization in the checkpoints.
