Chris Fregly commented on SPARK-6514:
-------------------------------------

hey pawel!

i think keeping it regionName is fine.  i just reviewed the KCL code and docs 
again - and realized that they also use this regionName for CloudWatch.

and by exposing the implementation, i meant that calling something "Dynamo 
Region" would be awkward if AWS ever changes the implementation to be something 
other than Dynamo.  that's the level of implementation that i was referring to.

also, if we ever move off of KCL - or no longer need to set this region for 
whatever reason - it may bite us later.  just something to think about.

lastly, i think it's OK not to extract the region from the stream URL - 
especially if we make regionName a required field on the API.  if it's 
optional, however, i would use the one in the stream location.  this may be 
overly complicated.  you're call.



> For Kinesis Streaming, use the same region for DynamoDB (KCL checkpoints) as 
> the Kinesis stream itself

> context:  i started the original Kinesis impl with KCL 1.0 (not supported), 
> then finished on KCL 1.1 (supported) without realizing that it's supported.
> also, we should upgrade to the latest Kinesis Client Library (KCL) which is 
> currently v1.2 right now, i believe.
