Thanks Alex. Yes exactly so.I was actually aware of it was challenging to do it in the main method of flink, even though the push appears after the my datastream is attached to kinesis , due to lazy execution, once the stream is connected then my publish did not work. If the publish is done by an outside service then obviously no issues..

If you push an event into the kinesis stream prior to starting up a reader that sets its initial stream position to LATEST, it will not read that record because you told it to start reading from the time you started up the consumer app. "LATEST" does not mean read the last event that was pushed into the stream, it means start reading from "now"/consumer app start basically. =============Notice to Recipient: This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files or previous e-mail messages attached to it may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged, and intended for the use of the individual or entity named above.
