Summary
The current implementation of the kinesis consumer relies on the
github.com/harlow/kinesis-consumer
library. This library seems not to be maintained anymore. Furthermore, the mentioned library does not harmonize well with Telegraf when it comes to storing shard iterators in a DynamoDB as Telegraf wants the iterators to represent the latest metric delivered and the library wants to store the last record consumed.To overcome these issues and to reduce the number of reads from the DynamoDB in case it is configured this PR implements the consumer itself and now only relies on the AWS Golang SDK v2.
This PR has been tested in a toy scenario including
max_undelivered_messages
.When enabling the tracing log-level for this plugin, details on the consumption process are logged.
