Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai commented on FLINK-8314:
--------------------------------------------
I have never used Kinesis FH before, but from the information I see so far, it
seems like FH is essentially a "router" layer that provides better integration
between Kinesis and other AWS services. The API itself seems to require
configuring either S3, Splunk, etc. as the destination of a FH delivery stream.
Due to this, I'm not sure how FH would make sense as a Flink source.
[~ivan.mushketyk] are you already aware of any specific user cases that require
FH as a Flink source?
