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.
