- If an error response is returned by AmazonKinesis indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.PutRecordResult putRecord(PutRecordRequest putRecordRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Writes a single data record from a producer into an Amazon Kinesis
stream. Call PutRecord
to send data from the producer
into the Amazon Kinesis stream for real-time ingestion and subsequent
processing, one record at a time. Each shard can support writes up to
1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MB per
second.
You must specify the name of the stream that captures, stores, and transports the data; a partition key; and the data blob itself.
The data blob can be any type of data; for example, a segment from a log file, geographic/location data, website clickstream data, and so on.
The partition key is used by Amazon Kinesis to distribute data across shards. Amazon Kinesis segregates the data records that belong to a data stream into multiple shards, using the partition key associated with each data record to determine which shard a given data record belongs to.
Partition keys are Unicode strings, with a maximum length limit of
256 characters for each key. An MD5 hash function is used to map
partition keys to 128-bit integer values and to map associated data
records to shards using the hash key ranges of the shards. You can
override hashing the partition key to determine the shard by
explicitly specifying a hash value using the
ExplicitHashKey
parameter. For more information, see
Adding Data to a Stream
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
PutRecord
returns the shard ID of where the data record
was placed and the sequence number that was assigned to the data
record.
Sequence numbers generally increase over time. To guarantee strictly
increasing ordering, use the SequenceNumberForOrdering
parameter. For more information, see
Adding Data to a Stream
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
If a PutRecord
request cannot be processed because of
insufficient provisioned throughput on the shard involved in the
request, PutRecord
throws
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
.
By default, data records are accessible for only 24 hours from the time that they are added to an Amazon Kinesis stream. This retention period can be modified using the DecreaseStreamRetentionPeriod and IncreaseStreamRetentionPeriod operations.

- If an error response is returned by AmazonKinesis indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.void createStream(CreateStreamRequest createStreamRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Creates a Amazon Kinesis stream. A stream captures and transports data records that are continuously emitted from different data sources or producers . Scale-out within an Amazon Kinesis stream is explicitly supported by means of shards, which are uniquely identified groups of data records in an Amazon Kinesis stream.
You specify and control the number of shards that a stream is composed of. Each shard can support reads up to 5 transactions per second, up to a maximum data read total of 2 MB per second. Each shard can support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MB per second. You can add shards to a stream if the amount of data input increases and you can remove shards if the amount of data input decreases.
The stream name identifies the stream. The name is scoped to the AWS account used by the application. It is also scoped by 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, Amazon Kinesis
immediately returns and sets the stream status to
CREATING
. After the stream is created, Amazon Kinesis
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 if you try to do one of the
following:
CREATING
state at
any point in time.For the default shard limit for an AWS account, see Amazon Kinesis Limits . If you need to increase this limit, contact AWS Support .
You can use DescribeStream
to check the stream status,
which is returned in StreamStatus
.
CreateStream has a limit of 5 transactions per second per account.

- If an error response is returned by AmazonKinesis indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.void decreaseStreamRetentionPeriod(DecreaseStreamRetentionPeriodRequest decreaseStreamRetentionPeriodRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Decreases the 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.
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.

Deletes a 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
will receive the exception ResourceNotFoundException
.
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 Amazon Kinesis completes the
deletion.
Note: Amazon Kinesis 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 DescribeStream operation to check the state of the
stream, which is returned in StreamStatus
.
DeleteStream has a limit of 5 transactions per second per account.

Merges two adjacent shards in a stream and combines them into a single shard to reduce the stream's capacity to ingest and transport data. Two shards are considered adjacent if the union of the hash key ranges for the two shards form a contiguous set with no gaps. For example, if you have two shards, one with a hash key range of 276...381 and the other with a hash key range of 382...454, then you could merge these two shards into a single shard that would have a hash key range of 276...454. After the merge, the single child shard receives data for all hash key values covered by the two parent shards.
MergeShards
is called when there is a need to reduce the
overall capacity of a stream because of excess capacity that is not
being used. You must specify the shard to be merged and the adjacent
shard for a stream. For more information about merging shards, see
Merge Two Shards
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
If the stream is in the ACTIVE
state, you can call
MergeShards
. If a stream is in the CREATING
, UPDATING
, or DELETING
state,
MergeShards
returns a ResourceInUseException
. If the specified stream does not exist, MergeShards
returns a ResourceNotFoundException
.
You can use DescribeStream to check the state of the stream, which is
returned in StreamStatus
.
MergeShards
is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving
a MergeShards
request, Amazon Kinesis immediately returns
a response and sets the StreamStatus
to
UPDATING
. After the operation is completed, Amazon
Kinesis sets the StreamStatus
to ACTIVE
.
Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the
UPDATING
state.
You use DescribeStream to determine the shard IDs that are specified
in the MergeShards
request.
If you try to operate on too many streams in parallel using
CreateStream, DeleteStream, MergeShards
or SplitShard,
you will receive a LimitExceededException
.
MergeShards
has limit of 5 transactions per second per
account.

either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.PutRecordsResult putRecords(PutRecordsRequest putRecordsRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Writes multiple data records from a producer into an Amazon Kinesis
stream in a single call (also referred to as a PutRecords
request). Use this operation to send data from a data producer into
the Amazon Kinesis stream for data ingestion and processing.
Each PutRecords
request can support up to 500 records.
Each record in the request can be as large as 1 MB, up to a limit of 5
MB for the entire request, including partition keys. Each shard can
support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data
write total of 1 MB per second.
You must specify the name of the stream that captures, stores, and
transports the data; and an array of request Records
,
with each record in the array requiring a partition key and data blob.
The record size limit applies to the total size of the partition key
and data blob.
The data blob can be any type of data; for example, a segment from a log file, geographic/location data, website clickstream data, and so on.
The partition key is used by Amazon Kinesis as input to a hash function that maps the partition key and associated data to a specific shard. An MD5 hash function is used to map partition keys to 128-bit integer values and to map associated data records to shards. As a result of this hashing mechanism, all data records with the same partition key map to the same shard within the stream. For more information, see Adding Data to a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
Each record in the Records
array may include an optional
parameter, ExplicitHashKey
, which overrides the
partition key to shard mapping. This parameter allows a data producer
to determine explicitly the shard where the record is stored. For more
information, see
Adding Multiple Records with PutRecords
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
The PutRecords
response includes an array of response
Records
. Each record in the response array directly
correlates with a record in the request array using natural ordering,
from the top to the bottom of the request and response. The response
Records
array always includes the same number of records
as the request array.
The response Records
array includes both successfully
and unsuccessfully processed records. Amazon Kinesis attempts to
process all records in each PutRecords
request. A single
record failure does not stop the processing of subsequent records.
A successfully-processed record includes ShardId
and
SequenceNumber
values. The ShardId
parameter
identifies the shard in the stream where the record is stored. The
SequenceNumber
parameter is an identifier assigned to the
put record, unique to all records in the stream.
An unsuccessfully-processed record includes ErrorCode
and ErrorMessage
values. ErrorCode
reflects
the type of error and can be one of the following values:
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
or
InternalFailure
. ErrorMessage
provides more
detailed information about the
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
exception
including the account ID, stream name, and shard ID of the record that
was throttled. For more information about partially successful
responses, see
Adding Multiple Records with PutRecords
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
By default, data records are accessible for only 24 hours from the time that they are added to an Amazon Kinesis stream. This retention period can be modified using the DecreaseStreamRetentionPeriod and IncreaseStreamRetentionPeriod operations.

- If an error response is returned by AmazonKinesis indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.DescribeStreamResult describeStream(DescribeStreamRequest describeStreamRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Describes the specified stream.
The information about the stream includes its current status, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and an array of shard objects. For each shard object, there is information about 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. A sequence number is the identifier associated with every record ingested in the Amazon Kinesis stream. The sequence number is assigned when a record is put into the stream.
You can limit the number of returned shards using the
Limit
parameter. The number of shards in a stream may be
too large to return from a single call to DescribeStream
. You can detect this by using the HasMoreShards
flag in
the returned output. HasMoreShards
is set to
true
when there is more data available.
DescribeStream
is a paginated operation. If there are
more shards available, you can request them using the shard ID of the
last shard returned. Specify this ID in the
ExclusiveStartShardId
parameter in a subsequent request
to DescribeStream
.
DescribeStream has a limit of 10 transactions per second per account.

- If an error response is returned by AmazonKinesis indicating
either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.GetShardIteratorResult getShardIterator(GetShardIteratorRequest getShardIteratorRequest) throws AmazonServiceException, AmazonClientException
Gets a shard iterator. A shard iterator expires five minutes after it is returned to the requester.
A shard iterator specifies the position in the shard from which to start reading data records sequentially. A shard iterator specifies this position using the sequence number of a data record in a shard. A sequence number is the identifier associated with every record ingested in the Amazon Kinesis stream. The sequence number is assigned when a record is put into the stream.
You must specify the shard iterator type. For example, you can set
the ShardIteratorType
parameter to read exactly from the
position denoted by a specific sequence number by using the
AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
shard iterator type, or right after
the sequence number by using the AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
shard iterator type, using sequence numbers returned by earlier calls
to PutRecord, PutRecords, GetRecords, or DescribeStream. You can
specify the shard iterator type TRIM_HORIZON
in the
request to cause ShardIterator
to point to the last
untrimmed record in the shard in the system, which is the oldest data
record in the shard. Or you can point to just after the most recent
record in the shard, by using the shard iterator type
LATEST
, so that you always read the most recent data in
the shard.
When you repeatedly read from an Amazon Kinesis stream use a
GetShardIterator request to get the first shard iterator for use in
your first GetRecords request and then use the shard iterator returned
by the GetRecords request in NextShardIterator
for
subsequent reads. A new shard iterator is returned by every GetRecords
request in NextShardIterator
, which you use in the
ShardIterator
parameter of the next GetRecords request.
If a GetShardIterator request is made too often, you receive a
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. For more
information about throughput limits, see GetRecords.
If the shard is closed, the iterator can't return more data, and
GetShardIterator returns null
for its
ShardIterator
. A shard can be closed using SplitShard or
MergeShards.
GetShardIterator has a limit of 5 transactions per second per account per open shard.

Gets data records from a shard.
Specify a shard iterator using the ShardIterator
parameter. The shard iterator specifies the position in the shard from
which you want to start reading data records sequentially. If there
are no records available in the portion of the shard that the iterator
points to, GetRecords returns an empty list. Note that it might take
multiple calls to get to a portion of the shard that contains records.
You can scale by provisioning multiple shards. Your application
should have one thread per shard, each reading continuously from its
stream. To read from a stream continually, call GetRecords in a loop.
Use GetShardIterator to get the shard iterator to specify in the first
GetRecords call. GetRecords returns a new shard iterator in
NextShardIterator
. Specify the shard iterator returned
in NextShardIterator
in subsequent calls to GetRecords.
Note that if the shard has been closed, the shard iterator can't
return more data and GetRecords returns null
in
NextShardIterator
. You can terminate the loop when the
shard is closed, or when the shard iterator reaches the record with
the sequence number or other attribute that marks it as the last
record to process.
Each data record can be up to 1 MB in size, and each shard can read
up to 2 MB per second. You can ensure that your calls don't exceed the
maximum supported size or throughput by using the Limit
parameter to specify the maximum number of records that GetRecords can
return. Consider your average record size when determining this limit.
The size of the data returned by GetRecords will vary depending on
the utilization of the shard. The maximum size of data that GetRecords
can return is 10 MB. If a call returns this amount of data, subsequent
calls made within the next 5 seconds throw
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. If there is
insufficient provisioned throughput on the shard, subsequent calls
made within the next 1 second throw
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. Note that
GetRecords won't return any data when it throws an exception. For this
reason, we recommend that you wait one second between calls to
GetRecords; however, it's possible that the application will get
exceptions for longer than 1 second.
To detect whether the application is falling behind in processing,
you can use the MillisBehindLatest
response attribute.
You can also monitor the stream using CloudWatch metrics (see
Monitoring Amazon Kinesis
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide ).
Each Amazon Kinesis record includes a value,
ApproximateArrivalTimestamp
, that is set when an Amazon
Kinesis stream successfully receives and stores a record. This is
commonly referred to as a server-side timestamp, which is different
than a client-side timestamp, where the timestamp is set when a data
producer creates or sends the record to a stream. The timestamp has
millisecond precision. There are no guarantees about the timestamp
accuracy, or that the timestamp is always increasing. For example,
records in a shard or across a stream might have timestamps that are
out of order.

Splits a shard into two new shards in the stream, to increase the
stream's capacity to ingest and transport data.
SplitShard
is called when there is a need to increase the
overall capacity of stream because of an expected increase in the
volume of data records being ingested.
You can also use SplitShard
when a shard appears to be
approaching its maximum utilization, for example, when the set of
producers sending data into the specific shard are suddenly sending
more than previously anticipated. You can also call
SplitShard
to increase stream capacity, so that more
Amazon Kinesis applications can simultaneously read data from the
stream for real-time processing.
You must specify the shard to be split and the new hash key, which is the position in the shard where the shard gets split in two. In many cases, the new hash key might simply be the average of the beginning and ending hash key, but it can be any hash key value in the range being mapped into the shard. For more information about splitting shards, see Split a Shard in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
You can use DescribeStream to determine the shard ID and hash key
values for the ShardToSplit
and
NewStartingHashKey
parameters that are specified in the
SplitShard
request.
SplitShard
is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving
a SplitShard
request, Amazon Kinesis immediately returns
a response and sets the stream status to UPDATING
. After
the operation is completed, Amazon Kinesis sets the stream status to
ACTIVE
. Read and write operations continue to work while
the stream is in the UPDATING
state.
You can use DescribeStream
to check the status of the
stream, which is returned in StreamStatus
. If the stream
is in the ACTIVE
state, you can call
SplitShard
. If a stream is in CREATING
or
UPDATING
or DELETING
states,
DescribeStream
returns a
ResourceInUseException
.
If the specified stream does not exist, DescribeStream
returns a ResourceNotFoundException
. If you try to
create more shards than are authorized for your account, you receive a
LimitExceededException
.

Increases the stream's retention period, which is the length of time data records are accessible after they are added to the stream. The maximum value of a stream???s retention period is 168 hours (7 days).
Upon choosing a longer stream retention period, this operation will increase the time period records are accessible that have not yet expired. However, it will not make previous data that has expired (older than the stream???s previous retention period) accessible after the operation has been called. For example, if a stream???s retention period is set to 24 hours and is increased to 168 hours, any data that is older than 24 hours will remain inaccessible to consumer applications.

Writes a single data record from a producer into an Amazon Kinesis
stream. Call PutRecord
to send data from the producer
into the Amazon Kinesis stream for real-time ingestion and subsequent
processing, one record at a time. Each shard can support writes up to
1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MB per
second.
You must specify the name of the stream that captures, stores, and transports the data; a partition key; and the data blob itself.
The data blob can be any type of data; for example, a segment from a log file, geographic/location data, website clickstream data, and so on.
The partition key is used by Amazon Kinesis to distribute data across shards. Amazon Kinesis segregates the data records that belong to a data stream into multiple shards, using the partition key associated with each data record to determine which shard a given data record belongs to.
Partition keys are Unicode strings, with a maximum length limit of
256 characters for each key. An MD5 hash function is used to map
partition keys to 128-bit integer values and to map associated data
records to shards using the hash key ranges of the shards. You can
override hashing the partition key to determine the shard by
explicitly specifying a hash value using the
ExplicitHashKey
parameter. For more information, see
Adding Data to a Stream
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
PutRecord
returns the shard ID of where the data record
was placed and the sequence number that was assigned to the data
record.
Sequence numbers generally increase over time. To guarantee strictly
increasing ordering, use the SequenceNumberForOrdering
parameter. For more information, see
Adding Data to a Stream

Creates a Amazon Kinesis stream. A stream captures and transports data records that are continuously emitted from different data sources or producers . Scale-out within an Amazon Kinesis stream is explicitly supported by means of shards, which are uniquely identified groups of data records in an Amazon Kinesis stream.
You specify and control the number of shards that a stream is composed of. Each shard can support reads up to 5 transactions per second, up to a maximum data read total of 2 MB per second. Each shard can support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MB per second. You can add shards to a stream if the amount of data input increases and you can remove shards if the amount of data input decreases.
The stream name identifies the stream. The name is scoped to the AWS account used by the application. It is also scoped by 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, Amazon Kinesis
immediately returns and sets the stream status to
CREATING
. After the stream is created, Amazon Kinesis
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 if you try to do one of the
following:
CREATING

Deletes a 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
will receive the exception ResourceNotFoundException
.
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 Amazon Kinesis completes the
deletion.
Note: Amazon Kinesis 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 DescribeStream operation to check the state of the
stream, which is returned in StreamStatus
.
DeleteStream has a limit of 5 transactions per second per account.

Merges two adjacent shards in a stream and combines them into a single shard to reduce the stream's capacity to ingest and transport data. Two shards are considered adjacent if the union of the hash key ranges for the two shards form a contiguous set with no gaps. For example, if you have two shards, one with a hash key range of 276...381 and the other with a hash key range of 382...454, then you could merge these two shards into a single shard that would have a hash key range of 276...454. After the merge, the single child shard receives data for all hash key values covered by the two parent shards.
MergeShards
is called when there is a need to reduce the
overall capacity of a stream because of excess capacity that is not
being used. You must specify the shard to be merged and the adjacent
shard for a stream. For more information about merging shards, see
Merge Two Shards
in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
If the stream is in the ACTIVE
state, you can call
MergeShards
. If a stream is in the CREATING
, UPDATING
, or DELETING
state,
MergeShards
returns a ResourceInUseException
. If the specified stream does not exist, MergeShards
returns a ResourceNotFoundException
.
You can use DescribeStream to check the state of the stream, which is
returned in StreamStatus
.
MergeShards
is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving
a MergeShards
request, Amazon Kinesis immediately returns
a response and sets the StreamStatus
to
UPDATING
. After the operation is completed, Amazon
Kinesis sets the StreamStatus

.
Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the
UPDATING
state.
You use DescribeStream to determine the shard IDs that are specified
in the MergeShards
request.
If you try to operate on too many streams in parallel using
CreateStream, DeleteStream, MergeShards
or SplitShard,
you will receive a LimitExceededException

Describes the specified stream.
The information about the stream includes its current status, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and an array of shard objects. For each shard object, there is information about 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. A sequence number is the identifier associated with every record ingested in the Amazon Kinesis stream. The sequence number is assigned when a record is put into the stream.
You can limit the number of returned shards using the
Limit
parameter. The number of shards in a stream may be
too large to return from a single call to DescribeStream

Gets a shard iterator. A shard iterator expires five minutes after it is returned to the requester.
A shard iterator specifies the position in the shard from which to start reading data records sequentially. A shard iterator specifies this position using the sequence number of a data record in a shard. A sequence number is the identifier associated with every record ingested in the Amazon Kinesis stream. The sequence number is assigned when a record is put into the stream.
You must specify the shard iterator type. For example, you can set
the ShardIteratorType
parameter to read exactly from the
position denoted by a specific sequence number by using the
AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
shard iterator type, or right after
the sequence number by using the AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER
shard iterator type, using sequence numbers returned by earlier calls
to PutRecord, PutRecords, GetRecords, or DescribeStream. You can
specify the shard iterator type TRIM_HORIZON
in the
request to cause ShardIterator
to point to the last
untrimmed record in the shard in the system, which is the oldest data
record in the shard. Or you can point to just after the most recent
record in the shard, by using the shard iterator type
LATEST
, so that you always read the most recent data in
the shard.
When you repeatedly read from an Amazon Kinesis stream use a
GetShardIterator request to get the first shard iterator for use in
your first GetRecords request and then use the shard iterator returned
by the GetRecords request in NextShardIterator
for
subsequent reads. A new shard iterator is returned by every GetRecords
request in NextShardIterator
, which you use in the
ShardIterator
parameter of the next GetRecords request.
If a GetShardIterator request is made too often, you receive a
ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. For more
information about throughput limits, see GetRecords.
If the shard is closed, the iterator can't return more data, and
GetShardIterator returns null
for its

Splits a shard into two new shards in the stream, to increase the
stream's capacity to ingest and transport data.
SplitShard
is called when there is a need to increase the
overall capacity of stream because of an expected increase in the
volume of data records being ingested.
You can also use SplitShard
when a shard appears to be
approaching its maximum utilization, for example, when the set of
producers sending data into the specific shard are suddenly sending
more than previously anticipated. You can also call
SplitShard
to increase stream capacity, so that more
Amazon Kinesis applications can simultaneously read data from the
stream for real-time processing.
You must specify the shard to be split and the new hash key, which is the position in the shard where the shard gets split in two. In many cases, the new hash key might simply be the average of the beginning and ending hash key, but it can be any hash key value in the range being mapped into the shard. For more information about splitting shards, see Split a Shard in the Amazon Kinesis Developer Guide .
You can use DescribeStream to determine the shard ID and hash key
values for the ShardToSplit
and
NewStartingHashKey
parameters that are specified in the
SplitShard
request.
SplitShard
is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving
a SplitShard
request, Amazon Kinesis immediately returns
a response and sets the stream status to UPDATING
. After
the operation is completed, Amazon Kinesis sets the stream status to
ACTIVE
. Read and write operations continue to work while
the stream is in the UPDATING
state.
You can use DescribeStream
to check the status of the
stream, which is returned in StreamStatus
. If the stream
is in the ACTIVE
state, you can call
SplitShard
. If a stream is in CREATING
or
UPDATING
or DELETING
states,
DescribeStream
returns a
ResourceInUseException
.
If the specified stream does not exist, DescribeStream
returns a ResourceNotFoundException
. If you try to
create more shards than are authorized for your account, you receive a
LimitExceededException
.
For the default shard limit for an AWS account, see Amazon Kinesis Limits . If you need to increase this limit, contact AWS Support .
If you try to operate on too many streams in parallel using

of one of the child shards created by the split. The hash key range
for a given shard constitutes a set of ordered contiguous positive
integers. The value for NewStartingHashKey
must be in the
range of hash keys being mapped into the shard. The
NewStartingHashKey
hash key value and all higher hash key
values in hash key range are distributed to one of the child shards.
All the lower hash key values in the range are distributed to the
other child shard.LimitExceededException

Lists your streams.
The number of streams may be too large to return from a single call
to ListStreams
. You can limit the number of returned
streams using the Limit
parameter. If you do not specify
a value for the Limit
parameter, Amazon Kinesis uses the
default limit, which is currently 10.
You can detect if there are more streams available to list by using
the HasMoreStreams
flag from the returned output. If
there are more streams available, you can request more streams by
using the name of the last stream returned by the
ListStreams
request in the
ExclusiveStartStreamName
parameter in a subsequent
request to ListStreams
. The group of stream names
returned by the subsequent request is then added to the list. You can
continue this process until all the stream names have been collected
in the list.
ListStreams has a limit of 5 transactions per second per account.
