> Originally reported by: [http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Encountered-the-following-Expired-Iterator-exception-in-getRecords-using-FlinkKinesisConsumer-td25093.html]
> In {{ShardConsumer.getRecords(...)}}, we catch any expired iterator exceptions so that in the case no data was written to the Kinesis shard, we last iterator which eventually expires doesn't just fail the job, by doing:
> {code:java}
> shardItr = kinesis.getShardIterator(subscribedShard, ShardIteratorType.AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER.toString(), lastSequenceNum.getSequenceNumber());
> {code}
> The problem is that, if absolutely no records were retrieved at all from the shard since the {{ShardConsumer}} was started, then {{lastSequenceNumber}} would still be a sentinel value (e.g. {{EARLIEST_SEQUENCE_NUMBER}}, {{LATEST_SEQUENCE_NUMBER}}, etc.) instead of an actual value. This isn't recognized by Kinesis, and would fail the job.
