             Summary: Add clarification to "Initial Stream Position" and "Stream Position Timestamp" properties in ConsumeKinesis
                 Key: NIFI-15463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15463
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Alaksiej Ščarbaty


Some users were confused by the behavior of "Initial Stream Position" and "Stream Position Timestamp" properties. 

These properties are used only during the first run of the processor, when no checkpoint information is available in DynamoDB. Once checkpoints are stored in DynamoDB, these properties take no effect.

The description of these properties should mention this fact.

Also, it might make sense to rename `Stream Position Timestamp` to `Initial Stream Position Timestamp` to underline this property is used during an initial launch.
