As discussed on the mailing list
(http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/Kinesis-getRecords-read-timeout-and-retry-td21844.html),
lets merge the PR as it is for now.
Some final remarks:
- I see that we already have a JIRA to improve generic configuration
support: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9188.
- For the fullJitterBackoff and retry handling, I wonder if a user-provided
retry handler would be more appropriate (as a future improvement). For example,
our Elasticsearch connector has something similar.
Merging this for 1.6.0 and 1.5.0 ..
