* Introducing MultiLangDaemon support for Enhanced Fan-Out.
* MultiLangDaemon now supports the following command line options.
* `--properties-file`: Properties file that the KCL should use to set up the Scheduler.
* `--log-configuration`: logback.xml that the KCL should use for logging.
* Updated AWS SDK dependency to 2.2.0.
* MultiLangDaemon now uses logback for logging.
* Added support for Enhanced Fan Out.
Enhanced Fan Out provides for lower end to end latency, and increased number of consumers per stream.
* Records are now delivered via streaming, reducing end-to-end latency.
* The Amazon Kinesis Client will automatically register a new consumer if required.
When registering a new consumer, the Kinesis Client will default to the application name unless configured otherwise.
* New configuration options are available to configure Enhanced Fan Out.
* `SubscribeToShard` maintains long lived connections with Kinesis, which in the AWS Java SDK 2.0 is limited by default.
The `KinesisClientUtil` has been added to assist configuring the `maxConcurrency` of the `KinesisAsyncClient`.
__WARNING: The Amazon Kinesis Client may see significantly increased latency, unless the `KinesisAsyncClient` is configured to have a `maxConcurrency` high enough to allow all leases plus additional usages of the `KinesisAsyncClient`.__
| Name | Default | Description |
|-----------------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| consumerArn | Unset | The ARN for an already created consumer. If this is set, the Kinesis Client will not attempt to create a consumer. |
| streamName | Unset | The name of the stream that a consumer should be create for if necessary |
| consumerName | Unset | The name of the consumer to create. If this is not set the applicationName will be used instead. |
| applicationName | Unset | The name of the application. This is used as the name of the consumer unless consumerName is set. |
* Modular Configuration of the Kinesis Client
The Kinesis Client has migrated to a modular configuration system, and the `KinesisClientLibConfiguration` class has been removed.
Configuration has been split into 7 classes. Default versions of the configuration can be created from the `ConfigsBuilder`.
Please see the migration guide for more information
* `CheckpointConfig`
* `CoordinatorConfig`
* `LeaseManagementConfig`
* `LifecycleConfig`
* `MetricsConfig`
* `ProcessorConfig`
* `RetrievalConfig`
* Upgraded to AWS Java SDK 2.0
The Kinesis Client now uses the AWS Java SDK 2.0. The dependency on AWS Java SDK 1.11 has been removed.
All configurations will only accept 2.0 clients.
* When configuring the `KinesisAsyncClient` the `KinesisClientUtil#createKinesisAsyncClient` can be used to configure the Kinesis Client
* __If you need support for AWS Java SDK 1.11 you will need to add a direct dependency.__
__When adding a dependency you must ensure that the 1.11 versions of Jackson dependencies are excluded__
Please see the migration guide for more information
* MultiLangDaemon is now a separate module
The MultiLangDaemon has been separated to its own Maven module and is no longer available in `amazon-kinesis-client`. To include the MultiLangDaemon, add a dependency on `amazon-kinesis-client-multilang`.
