+### Using non-AWS Kinesis Endpoints
+
+It is sometimes desirable to have Flink operate as a consumer or producer
against a non-AWS Kinesis endpoint such as kinesalite; this is especially
useful when performing functional testing of a Flink application. The AWS
endpoint that would normally be inferred by the AWS region set in the Flink
configuration must be overriden via a configuration property.

We should be linking "kinesalite" to the project. Should we also capitalize
"K"?
However, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to refer to another public Github
project in the documentation, even though Kinesalite is a widely adopted
solution for local Kinesis testing. We'll need to have @rmetzger 's comment on
this.

> I perform local testing of my application stack with Flink configured as a
> consumer on a Kinesis stream provided by Kinesalite, an implementation of
> Kinesis built on LevelDB. This requires me to override the AWS endpoint to
> refer to my local Kinesalite server rather than reference the real AWS
> endpoint. I'd like to add a configuration property to the Kinesis streaming
> connector that allows the AWS endpoint to be specified explicitly.
> This should be a fairly small change and provide a lot of flexibility to
> people looking to integrate Flink with Kinesis in a non-production setup.
