Hi Josh, Thank you for reporting this, I’m looking into it. There was some major changes to the Kinesis connector after mid June, but the changes don’t seem to be related to the iterator timeout, so it may be a bug that had always been there.
I’m not sure yet if it may be related, but may I ask how long was your Flink job down before restarting it again from the existing state? Was it longer than the retention duration of the Kinesis records (default is 24 hours)?

The iterator was created at time Fri Aug 26 10:47:47 UTC 2016 while right now it is Fri Aug 26 11:05:40 UTC 2016 which is further in the future than the tolerated delay of 300000 milliseconds. (Service: AmazonKinesis; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ExpiredIteratorException; Request ID: d3db1d90-df97-912b-83e1-3954e766bbe0) It happens when my Flink job goes down for a couple of hours, then I restart from the existing state and it needs to catch up on all the data that has been put in Kinesis stream in the hours where the job was down. The job then runs for ~15 mins and fails with this exception (and this happens repeatedly - meaning I can't restore the job from the existing state). Any ideas what's causing this? It's possible that it's been fixed in recent commits, as the version of the Kinesis connector I'm using is behind master - I'm not sure exactly what commit I'm using (doh!) but it was built around mid June. Thanks, Josh
