> Currently, the Kinesis consumer's checkpoints directly serialize AWS's {{Shard}} instances in checkpoints. This makes bumping AWS library versions hard, since any change to the {{Shard}} class by AWS will break checkpoint compatibility.
> We should either have custom serialization for {{KinesisStreamShard}}, or disintegrate the information in {{Shard}}. Ideally, it would be best to make {{KinesisStreamShard}} and {{SequenceNumber}} to be non-serializable, hence avoiding Java serialization in the checkpoints.
