-----------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade Kinesis Client Library to 2.x
Key: NIFI-8531
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8531
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chris Sampson
The Kinesis Client Library [KCL] version 1.x is used by the
{{ConsumeKinesisStream}} processor (NIFI-2892).
It would be better to upgrade to KCL 2.x as it is more up-to-date and provides
more advanced features.
For example, the {{WorkerStateChangeListener}} in 2.x has an
{{onAllInitializationAttemptsFailed}} method that could be used to better track
{{Worker}} startup issues (instead of relying on checking for unexpected
{{WorkerState}} values in our processor's {{onTrigger}} method).
There are also more configuration options available that would be worth
considering as processor properties/noting in the processor documentation.
N.B. upgrading to KCL 2.x relies upon upgrading to AWS Java SDK 2.x first
(NIFI-8287).
