Github user budde commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16744 @brkyvz I share your concerns around expanding this API further than necessary. I think I'm okay with this as long as we're fairly confident the builder pattern work can be merged in the same Spark release. My reluctance here is that forcing users who want to use STS to provide static credentials for the long-lived auth to STS itself will be a security regression for folks using EC2 where [IAM instance profiles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2_instance-profiles.html) provide a secure way of avoiding potential problems with static credential management. As you've pointed out though, this is less of a concern if we can deprecate the brittle ```KinesisUtils.createStream()``` API with a flexible builder class. I'll give another look over the ```createStream()``` implementations you're suggesting we remove and push an update to this PR if I don't have any objections.
