Defined in:
(unknown)

Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a managed service that scales elastically for real-time processing of streaming big data.

Sending a Request Using Kinesis

var kinesis = new AWS.Kinesis();
kinesis.addTagsToStream(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the Kinesis object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var kinesis = new AWS.Kinesis({apiVersion: '2013-12-02'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the kinesis service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  kinesis: '2013-12-02',
  // other service API versions
};

var kinesis = new AWS.Kinesis();

Version:

  • 2013-12-02

Waiter Resource States

This service supports a list of resource states that can be polled using the waitFor() method. The resource states are:

streamExists, streamNotExists

Method Details

addTagsToStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Adds or updates tags for the specified Kinesis data stream. You can assign up to 50 tags to a data stream.

Note: When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN or the StreamName parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN input parameter when you invoke this API.

If tags have already been assigned to the stream, AddTagsToStream overwrites any existing tags that correspond to the specified tag keys.

AddTagsToStream has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the addTagsToStream operation

var params = {
  Tags: { /* required */
    '<TagKey>': 'STRING_VALUE',
    /* '<TagKey>': ... */
  },
  StreamARN: 'STRING_VALUE',
  StreamName: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
kinesis.addTagsToStream(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • StreamName — (String)

      The name of the stream.

    • Tags — (map<String>)

      A set of up to 10 key-value pairs to use to create the tags.

    • StreamARN — (String)

      The ARN of the stream.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a Kinesis data stream. A stream captures and transports data records that are continuously emitted from different data sources or producers. Scale-out within a stream is explicitly supported by means of shards, which are uniquely identified groups of data records in a stream.

You can create your data stream using either on-demand or provisioned capacity mode. Data streams with an on-demand mode require no capacity planning and automatically scale to handle gigabytes of write and read throughput per minute. With the on-demand mode, Kinesis Data Streams automatically manages the shards in order to provide the necessary throughput. For the data streams with a provisioned mode, you must specify the number of shards for the data stream. Each shard can support reads up to five transactions per second, up to a maximum data read total of 2 MiB per second. Each shard can support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MiB per second. If the amount of data input increases or decreases, you can add or remove shards.

The stream name identifies the stream. The name is scoped to the Amazon Web Services account used by the application. It is also scoped by Amazon Web Services Region. That is, two streams in two different accounts can have the same name, and two streams in the same account, but in two different Regions, can have the same name.

CreateStream is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateStream request, Kinesis Data Streams immediately returns and sets the stream status to CREATING. After the stream is created, Kinesis Data Streams sets the stream status to ACTIVE. You should perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE stream.

You receive a LimitExceededException when making a CreateStream request when you try to do one of the following:

  • Have more than five streams in the CREATING state at any point in time.

  • Create more shards than are authorized for your account.

For the default shard limit for an Amazon Web Services account, see Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Limits in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. To increase this limit, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

You can use DescribeStreamSummary to check the stream status, which is returned in StreamStatus.

CreateStream has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createStream operation

var params = {
  StreamName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  ShardCount: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  StreamModeDetails: {
    StreamMode: PROVISIONED | ON_DEMAND /* required */
  }
};
kinesis.createStream(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • StreamName — (String)

      A name to identify the stream. The stream name is scoped to the Amazon Web Services account used by the application that creates the stream. It is also scoped by Amazon Web Services Region. That is, two streams in two different Amazon Web Services accounts can have the same name. Two streams in the same Amazon Web Services account but in two different Regions can also have the same name.

    • ShardCount — (Integer)

      The number of shards that the stream will use. The throughput of the stream is a function of the number of shards; more shards are required for greater provisioned throughput.

    • StreamModeDetails — (map)

      Indicates the capacity mode of the data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

      • StreamModerequired — (String)

        Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

        Possible values include:
        • "PROVISIONED"
        • "ON_DEMAND"

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

decreaseStreamRetentionPeriod(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Decreases the Kinesis data stream's retention period, which is the length of time data records are accessible after they are added to the stream. The minimum value of a stream's retention period is 24 hours.

Note: When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN or the StreamName parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN input parameter when you invoke this API.

This operation may result in lost data. For example, if the stream's retention period is 48 hours and is decreased to 24 hours, any data already in the stream that is older than 24 hours is inaccessible.

deleteStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes a Kinesis data stream and all its shards and data. You must shut down any applications that are operating on the stream before you delete the stream. If an application attempts to operate on a deleted stream, it receives the exception ResourceNotFoundException.

Note: When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN or the StreamName parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN input parameter when you invoke this API.

If the stream is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. After a DeleteStream request, the specified stream is in the DELETING state until Kinesis Data Streams completes the deletion.

Note: Kinesis Data Streams might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as PutRecord, PutRecords, and GetRecords, on a stream in the DELETING state until the stream deletion is complete.

When you delete a stream, any shards in that stream are also deleted, and any tags are dissociated from the stream.

You can use the DescribeStreamSummary operation to check the state of the stream, which is returned in StreamStatus.

DeleteStream has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the deleteStream operation

var params = {
  EnforceConsumerDeletion: true || false,

});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • StreamName — (String)

      The name of the stream to delete.

    • EnforceConsumerDeletion — (Boolean)

      If this parameter is unset (null) or if you set it to false, and the stream has registered consumers, the call to DeleteStream fails with a ResourceInUseException.

    • StreamARN — (String)

      The ARN of the stream.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • ShardLimit — (Integer)

        The maximum number of shards.

      • OpenShardCount — (Integer)

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

describeStream(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Describes the specified Kinesis data stream.

Note: This API has been revised. It's highly recommended that you use the DescribeStreamSummary API to get a summarized description of the specified Kinesis data stream and the ListShards API to list the shards in a specified data stream and obtain information about each shard.
Note: When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN or the StreamName parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN input parameter when you invoke this API.

The information returned includes the stream name, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), creation time, enhanced metric configuration, and shard map. The shard map is an array of shard objects. For each shard object, there is the hash key and sequence number ranges that the shard spans, and the IDs of any earlier shards that played in a role in creating the shard. Every record ingested in the stream is identified by a sequence number, which is assigned when the record is put into the stream.

You can limit the number of shards returned by each call. For more information, see Retrieving Shards from a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.

There are no guarantees about the chronological order shards returned. To process shards in chronological order, use the ID of the parent shard to track the lineage to the oldest shard.

This operation has a limit of 10 transactions per second per account.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the describeStream operation

var params = {
  ExclusiveStartShardId: 'STRING_VALUE',
  Limit: 'NUMBER_VALUE',
  StreamARN: 'STRING_VALUE',
  StreamName: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
kinesis.describeStream(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • StreamName — (String)

      The name of the stream to describe.

    • Limit — (Integer)

      The maximum number of shards to return in a single call. The default value is 100. If you specify a value greater than 100, at most 100 results are returned.

    • ExclusiveStartShardId — (String)

      The shard ID of the shard to start with.

      Specify this parameter to indicate that you want to describe the stream starting with the shard whose ID immediately follows ExclusiveStartShardId.

      If you don't specify this parameter, the default behavior for DescribeStream is to describe the stream starting with the first shard in the stream.

    • StreamARN — (String)

      The ARN of the stream.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • StreamDescription — (map)

        The current status of the stream, the stream Amazon Resource Name (ARN), an array of shard objects that comprise the stream, and whether there are more shards available.

        • StreamNamerequired — (String)

          The name of the stream being described.

        • StreamARNrequired — (String)

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream being described.

        • StreamStatusrequired — (String)

          The current status of the stream being described. The stream status is one of the following states:

          • CREATING - The stream is being created. Kinesis Data Streams immediately returns and sets StreamStatus to CREATING.

          • DELETING - The stream is being deleted. The specified stream is in the DELETING state until Kinesis Data Streams completes the deletion.

          • ACTIVE - The stream exists and is ready for read and write operations or deletion. You should perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE stream.

          • UPDATING - Shards in the stream are being merged or split. Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the UPDATING state.

          Possible values include:
          • "CREATING"
          • "DELETING"
          • "ACTIVE"
          • "UPDATING"
        • StreamModeDetails — (map)

          Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

          • StreamModerequired — (String)

            Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

            Possible values include:
            • "PROVISIONED"
            • "ON_DEMAND"
        • Shardsrequired — (Array<map>)

          The shards that comprise the stream.

          • ShardIdrequired — (String)

            The unique identifier of the shard within the stream.

          • ParentShardId — (String)

            The shard ID of the shard's parent.

          • AdjacentParentShardId — (String)
