------------------------------------------
Summary: Avoid directly serializing AWS's Shard class in Kinesis
consumer's checkpoints
Key: FLINK-6653
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6653
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Kinesis Connector
Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
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.
