             Summary: Handle AmazonKinesisException gracefully in Kinesis Streaming Connector

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5355
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Kinesis Connector
    Affects Versions: 1.1.3
            Reporter: Scott Kidder
            Assignee: Scott Kidder


My Flink job that consumes from a Kinesis stream must be restarted at least once daily due to an uncaught AmazonKinesisException when reading from Kinesis. The complete stacktrace looks like:

It's interesting that the Kinesis endpoint returned a 500 status code, but that's outside the scope of this issue.

I think we can handle this exception in the same manner as a ProvisionedThroughputException, which extends AmazonKinesisException: perform an exponential backoff and retry a finite number of times before throwing an exception.
