Hello everyone, This is a discussion thread for the FLIP [1] regarding Enhanced Fan Out for AWS Kinesis Consumers.
Enhanced Fan Out (EFO) allows AWS Kinesis Data Stream (KDS) consumers to utilise a dedicated read throughput, rather than a shared quota. HTTP/2 reduces latency and typically gives a 65% performance boost [2]. EFO is not currently supported by the Flink Kinesis Consumer. Adding EFO support would allow Flink applications to reap the benefits, widening Flink adoption. Existing applications will be able to optionally perform a backwards compatible library upgrade and configuration tweak to inherit the performance benefits.
