[FLINK-5355] Handle AmazonKinesisException gracefully in Kinesis Streaming Connector My Flink job that consumes from a Kinesis stream must be restarted at least once daily due to an uncaught AmazonKinesisException when reading from Kinesis. The complete stacktrace looks like: ``` com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.model.AmazonKinesisException: null (Service: AmazonKinesis; Status Code: 500; Error Code: InternalFailure; Request ID: dc1b7a1a-1b97-1a32-8cd5-79a896a55223) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.handleErrorResponse(AmazonHttpClient.java:1545) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.executeOneRequest(AmazonHttpClient.java:1183) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.executeHelper(AmazonHttpClient.java:964) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.doExecute(AmazonHttpClient.java:676) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.executeWithTimer(AmazonHttpClient.java:650) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.execute(AmazonHttpClient.java:633) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutor.access$300(AmazonHttpClient.java:601) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient$RequestExecutionBuilderImpl.execute(AmazonHttpClient.java:583) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.execute(AmazonHttpClient.java:447) at com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.AmazonKinesisClient.doInvoke(AmazonKinesisClient.java:1747) at com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.AmazonKinesisClient.invoke(AmazonKinesisClient.java:1723) at com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.AmazonKinesisClient.getRecords(AmazonKinesisClient.java:858) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.proxy.KinesisProxy.getRecords(KinesisProxy.java:193) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.internals.ShardConsumer.getRecords(ShardConsumer.java:268) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.internals.ShardConsumer.run(ShardConsumer.java:176) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) ``` It's interesting that the Kinesis endpoint returned a 500 status code, but that's outside the scope of this issue. I think we can handle this exception in the same manner as a ProvisionedThroughputException: performing an exponential backoff and retrying a finite number of times before throwing an exception.
