---------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd say it still makes sense. If I understand how Kinesis resharding works 
correctly, merging or splitting shards actually just results in new empty 
shards with new key ranges, while the previous shards that were merged or split 
are simple closed (i.e., records that were collected by Kinesis before the 
resharding are consumed from the old closed shards). Therefore, we can still 
assume simple event time patterns per-shard, as there is no merging or 
splitting of the Kinesis records taking place and their event time pattern is 
kept intact.

> It would be nice to let the Kinesis consumer be on-par in functionality with 
> the Kafka consumer, since they share very similar abstractions. Per-partition 
> / shard watermarks is something we can add also to the Kinesis consumer.
