Added support for time based iterators. Time based iterators are only
used if there is no current checkpoint for that shard, otherwise the
sequence number of the checkpoint is used.
The test 'testWorkerForcefulShutdown' was using Thread.sleep() to create
the conditions for an interrupted state. It was possible for the test
to take enough time for the sleep to actually exit before the interrupt
was sent. This would cause the test to fail. Changing to a pair of
sempahores ensures that the test record processor will remain blocked
for the expected amount of time.
Merge, and slight adjustment, of
https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/61.
This allows configuration to explicitly set the name of the lease
table. The table name defaults to the application name which is the
current behavior.
Added the Travis CI configuration to enable continous integration
testing for common JDK version > 1.7.
Move gpg signing to its own profile to avoid causing issues with the
test, and integration-test phases.
Added unit tests for many of the classes in the client. Added new
dependencies for the unit tests to the POM file. Unit tests can be
executed the `surefire:test` goal, and are executed during the test phase.
Added integration tests for the client. The tests require access to
credentials that can interact with Kinesis, and DynamoDB. The
integration tests can be run by executing the
`failsafe:integration-test` goal, or are run as part of the
integration-test phase
**Resources in the integration tests are not currently released on
completion of the integration tests.**
