* Release 1.9.1 of the Amazon Kinesis Client Library for Java
Updated versions, and added release notes.
* Added note about the update of the AWS Java SDK
* Added support for ListShards API. This API is used in place of DescribeStream API to provide more throughput during ShardSyncTask.
* ListShards supoorts higher call rate, which should reduce instances of throttling when attempting to synchronize the shard list.
* Updated the version of AWS Java SDK to 1.11.272.
* Version 1.11.272 is now the minimum support versiojn of the SDK.
* Deprecated the following methods, and classes. These methods, and classes will be removed in a future release.
* Deprecated IKinesisProxy#getStreamInfo.
* Deprecated IKinesisProxyFactory.
* Deprecated KinesisProxyFactory.
* Deprecated certain KinesisProxy constructors.
* Allow providing a custom IKinesisProxy implementation.
* PR #274
* Checkpointing on a different thread should no longer emit a warning about NullMetricsScope.
* PR #284
* Issue #48
* Upgraded the AWS Java SDK to version 1.11.271
* PR #287
* Allow disabling check for the case where a child shard has an open parent shard.
There is a race condition where it's possible for the a parent shard
to appear open, while having child shards. This check can now be
disabled by setting ignoreUnexpectedChildShards in the
KinesisClientLibConfiguration to true.

* Issue #210
* Upgraded the AWS SDK for Java to 1.11.261
* PR #281
This adds that ability for the KCL to fetch records while the record processor is busy. This can help smooth out delays in record process, or retrieving data from Kinesis. Enabling this does require extra threads for background retrieval.
Settings
* dataFetchingStrategy: Which strategy to use to retrieve records. This can be either DEFAULT or PREFETCH_CACHED
* maxCacheByteSize: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of bytes in the cache exceeds this value
* maxRecordsCount: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of records in the cache exceeds this value
* maxPendingProcessRecordsInput: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of fulfilled requests in the cache exceeds this value
* Release 1.8.5 of the Amazon Kinesis Client for Java
Release 1.8.5 (September 26, 2017)
* Only advance the shard iterator for the accepted response.
This fixes a race condition in the `KinesisDataFetcher` when it's being used to make asynchronous requests. The shard iterator is now only advanced when the retriever calls `DataFetcherResult#accept()`.
* PR #230
* Issue #231
This changes the retriever strategy to only accept the shard iterator
when we have accepted a result to return. This is for the
asynchronous retriever where multiple threads may contend for the same
iterator slot. This ensures only the one selected for the response will
advance the shard iterator.
* Create a new completion service for each request.
This ensures that canceled tasks are discarded. This will prevent a cancellation exception causing issues processing records.
* PR #227
* Issue #226
* Call shutdown on the retriever when the record processor is being shutdown
This fixes a bug that could leak threads if using the
AsynchronousGetRecordsRetrievalStrategy is being used.
The asynchronous retriever is only used when
KinesisClientLibConfiguration#retryGetRecordsInSeconds, and
KinesisClientLibConfiguration#maxGetRecordsThreadPool are set.
* PR #222
* Add support for two phase checkpoints
Applications can now set a pending checkpoint, before completing the checkpoint operation. Once the application has completed its checkpoint steps, the final checkpoint will clear the pending checkpoint.
Should the checkpoint fail the attempted sequence number is provided in the InitializationInput#getPendingCheckpointSequenceNumber otherwise the value will be null.
* PR #188
* Support timeouts, and retry for GetRecords calls.
Applications can now set timeouts for GetRecord calls to Kinesis. As part of setting the timeout, the application must also provide a thread pool size for concurrent requests.
* PR #214
* Notification when the lease table is throttled
When writes, or reads, to the lease table are throttled a warning will be emitted. If you're seeing this warning you should increase the IOPs for your lease table to prevent processing delays.
* PR #212
* Support configuring the graceful shutdown timeout for MultiLang Clients
This adds support for setting the timeout that the Java process will wait for the MutliLang client to complete graceful shutdown. The timeout can be configured by adding shutdownGraceMillis to the properties file set to the number of milliseconds to wait.
* PR #204
Support timeouts for calls to the MultiLang Daemon
This adds support for setting a timeout when dispatching records to
the client record processor. If the record processor doesn't respond
within the timeout the parent Java process will be terminated. This
is a temporary fix to handle cases where the KCL becomes blocked
while waiting for a client record processor.
The timeout for the this can be set by adding
`timeoutInSeconds = <timeout value>`.
The default for this is no timeout.
Setting this can cause the KCL to exit suddenly, before using this
ensure that you have an automated restart for your application

Disable the JavaDoc doclint when building with Java 8. Java 8 became
much more pedantic on bad practices, and the documentation hasn't been
cleaned up.
Updated to the newest version of the AWS Java SDK.
