---------------------------------------

             Summary: Adapt default values of the Kinesis connector
                 Key: FLINK-6365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6365
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Kinesis Connector
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
            Reporter: Steffen Hausmann
            Priority: Minor


As discussed in http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Kinesis-connector-SHARD-GETRECORDS-MAX-default-value-td12332.html, it seems reasonable to change the default values of the Kinesis connector to follow KCL’s default settings. I suggest to adapt at least the values for SHARD_GETRECORDS_MAX and
SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS. 

As a Kinesis shard is currently limited to 5 get operations per second, you can observe high ReadProvisionedThroughputExceeded rates with the current default value for SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS of 0; it seem reasonable to increase it to 200. As it's described in the email thread, it seems furthermore desirable to increase the default value for SHARD_GETRECORDS_MAX to 10000.

The values that are used by the KCL can be found here: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/blob/master/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/kinesis/clientlibrary/lib/worker/KinesisClientLibConfiguration.java

Thanks for looking into this!

Steffen
