Bowen Li commented on FLINK-8314: --------------------------------- [~aljoscha] I believe this is unnecessary. First, Firehose (FH) is just a wrapper with Kinesis inside, to better integrate with AWS eg. S3. Second, users can create a FH and set Kinesis as source, and Kinesis's data will automatically goes into FH. Based on the above two reasons, I believe there's no need to create an extra FH connector and maintain it in Flink. > Add support for Kinesis Firehose > -------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-8314 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8314 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Kinesis Connector > Reporter: Ivan Mushketyk > Priority: Minor > > [Kinesis > Firehose|https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/what-is-this-service.html] > is another product in Kinesis Family that allows zero-ops scalable stream > for delivering streaming data to S3, RedShift, Elasticsearch, etc. It has a > different > [API|http://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html]. > I can contribute this myself, but I wonder if this feature makes sense to you. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
