AWS Kinesis

Since Camel 3.2

Both producer and consumer are supported

The AWS2 Kinesis component supports receiving messages from and sending messages to Amazon Kinesis (no Batch supported) service.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon Kinesis. More information are available at AWS Kinesis

The AWS2 Kinesis component is not supported in OSGI

URI Format

aws2-kinesis://stream-name[?options]

The stream needs to be created prior to it being used.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS Kinesis component supports 21 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amazonKinesisClient (common)

Autowired Amazon Kinesis client to use for all requests for this endpoint

KinesisClient

cborEnabled (common)

This option will set the CBOR_ENABLED property during the execution

true

boolean

configuration (common)

Component configuration

Kinesis2Configuration

overrideEndpoint (common)

Set the need for overidding the endpoint. This option needs to be used in combination with uriEndpointOverride option

false

boolean

proxyHost (common)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the Kinesis client

String

proxyPort (common)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the Kinesis client

Integer

proxyProtocol (common)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the Kinesis client. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (common)

The region in which Kinesis Firehose client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the lowercase name of the region (for example ap-east-1) You’ll need to use the name Region.EU_WEST_1.id()

String

trustAllCertificates (common)

If we want to trust all certificates in case of overriding the endpoint

false

boolean

uriEndpointOverride (common)

Set the overriding uri endpoint. This option needs to be used in combination with overrideEndpoint option

String

useDefaultCredentialsProvider (common)

Set whether the Kinesis client should expect to load credentials through a default credentials provider or to expect static credentials to be passed in.

false

boolean

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

iteratorType (consumer)

Defines where in the Kinesis stream to start getting records. There are 6 enums and the value can be one of: AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, TRIM_HORIZON, LATEST, AT_TIMESTAMP, null

TRIM_HORIZON

ShardIteratorType

maxResultsPerRequest (consumer)

Maximum number of records that will be fetched in each poll

1

int

sequenceNumber (consumer)

The sequence number to start polling from. Required if iteratorType is set to AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER or AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER

String

shardClosed (consumer)

Define what will be the behavior in case of shard closed. Possible value are ignore, silent and fail. In case of ignore a message will be logged and the consumer will restart from the beginning,in case of silent there will be no logging and the consumer will start from the beginning,in case of fail a ReachedClosedStateException will be raised. There are 3 enums and the value can be one of: ignore, fail, silent

ignore

Kinesis2ShardClosedStrategyEnum

shardId (consumer)

Defines which shardId in the Kinesis stream to get records from

String

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

Required Kinesis component options

You have to provide the KinesisClient in the Registry with proxies and relevant credentials configured.

Batch Consumer

This component implements the Batch Consumer.

This allows you for instance to know how many messages exists in this batch and for instance let the Aggregator aggregate this number of messages.

Usage

Static credentials vs Default Credential Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials, by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey

  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.

  • The shared credentials and config files.

  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.

  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

For more information about this you can look at AWS credentials documentation

Message headers set by the Kinesis consumer

Header Type Description

CamelAwsKinesisSequenceNumber

String

The sequence number of the record. This is represented as a String as it size is not defined by the API. If it is to be used as a numerical type then use

CamelAwsKinesisApproximateArrivalTimestamp

String

The time AWS assigned as the arrival time of the record.

CamelAwsKinesisPartitionKey

String

Identifies which shard in the stream the data record is assigned to.

AmazonKinesis configuration

You then have to reference the KinesisClient in the amazonKinesisClient URI option.

from("aws2-kinesis://mykinesisstream?amazonKinesisClient=#kinesisClient")
  .to("log:out?showAll=true");

Providing AWS Credentials

It is recommended that the credentials are obtained by using the DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain that is the default when creating a new ClientConfiguration instance, however, a different AWSCredentialsProvider can be specified when calling createClient(…​).

Message headers used by the Kinesis producer to write to Kinesis. The producer expects that the message body is a byte[].

Header Type Description

CamelAwsKinesisPartitionKey

String

The PartitionKey to pass to Kinesis to store this record.

CamelAwsKinesisSequenceNumber

String

Optional paramter to indicate the sequence number of this record.

Message headers set by the Kinesis producer on successful storage of a Record

Header Type Description

CamelAwsKinesisSequenceNumber

String

The sequence number of the record, as defined in Response Syntax

CamelAwsKinesisShardId

String

The shard ID of where the Record was stored

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml
