+<span class="label label-danger">Attention</span> For Flink versions 1.4.2 and below, the KPL client version
+used by default in the Kinesis connectors, KPL 0.12.5, is no longer supported by AWS Kinesis Streams
+(see [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/kinesis-kpl-upgrades.html)).
+This means that when building the Kinesis connector, you will need to specify a higher version KPL client (above 0.12.6)
+in order for the Flink Kinesis Producer to work. You can do this by speciyfing the preferred version via the
+`aws.kinesis-kpl.version` property, like so:
+{% highlight bash %}
+mvn clean install -Pinclude-kinesis -Daws.kinesis-kpl.version=0.12.6 -DskipTests
+{% endhighlight %}
 
 The streaming connectors are not part of the binary distribution. See how to link with them for cluster
 execution [here]({{site.baseurl}}/dev/linking.html).
