> When extending the flink kinesis connector to consume from a dynamodb stream,
> it was found NPE could be thrown at
> [here|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/e3c98f05d3544d0165c2d97d2d00fcd295cef8c8/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kinesis/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kinesis/internals/ShardConsumer.java#L376]
> .
> This is because the [getRecords
> API|https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_streams_GetRecords.html]
> in dynamodb streams does not return the millisBehindLatest field and has it
> set to null. Null check is probably needed here.
> See FLINK-4582 for the context of building dynamodb streams connector on top
> of the Kinesis connector.
