Thanks for the comment, @tzulitai !
I have not had any problems with testing Flink against a local Kinesalite
instance where the Region (required by Flink) is set to `us-east-1` and the
endpoint is set to an address on localhost. The `setRegion` function on the AWS
Kinesis client calculates the endpoint URL from the region name and sets it on
the client. The `setEndpoint` function is meant to allow for testing against
non-AWS endpoints, or even new AWS endpoints in Regions unrecognized by an
older version of the library.
I think that requiring the AWS region, and optionally using the AWS
endpoint if provided, will work well; this is consistent with the AWS client's
own behavior.
