CreateStream (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'StreamModeDetails': {'StreamMode': 'PROVISIONED | ON_DEMAND'}}

Creates a Kinesis data stream. A stream captures and transports data records that are continuously emitted from different data sources or producers . Scale-out within a stream is explicitly supported by means of shards, which are uniquely identified groups of data records in a stream.

You specify and control the number of shards that a stream is composed of. Each shard can support reads up to five transactions per second, up to a maximum data read total of 2 MiB per second. Each shard can support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up to a maximum data write total of 1 MiB per second. If the amount of data input increases or decreases, you can add or remove shards.

The stream name identifies the stream. The name is scoped to the Amazon Web Services account used by the application. It is also scoped by Amazon Web Services Region. That is, two streams in two different accounts can have the same name, and two streams in the same account, but in two different Regions, can have the same name.

CreateStream is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateStream request, Kinesis Data Streams immediately returns and sets the stream status to CREATING . After the stream is created, Kinesis Data Streams sets the stream status to ACTIVE . You should perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE stream.

You receive a LimitExceededException when making a CreateStream request when you try to do one of the following:

  • Have more than five streams in the CREATING state at any point in time.

  • Create more shards than are authorized for your account.

For the default shard limit for an Amazon Web Services account, see Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Limits in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide . To increase this limit, contact Amazon Web Services Support.

You can use DescribeStreamSummary to check the stream status, which is returned in StreamStatus .

CreateStream has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

Request Syntax

client.create_stream(
    StreamName='string',
    ShardCount=123,
    StreamModeDetails={
        'StreamMode': 'PROVISIONED'|'ON_DEMAND'
    }
)
type StreamName

string

param StreamName

[REQUIRED]

A name to identify the stream. The stream name is scoped to the Amazon Web Services account used by the application that creates the stream. It is also scoped by Amazon Web Services Region. That is, two streams in two different Amazon Web Services accounts can have the same name. Two streams in the same Amazon Web Services account but in two different Regions can also have the same name.

type ShardCount

integer

param ShardCount

The number of shards that the stream will use. The throughput of the stream is a function of the number of shards; more shards are required for greater provisioned throughput.

type StreamModeDetails

dict

param StreamModeDetails

Indicates the capacity mode of the data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

  • StreamMode (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

DescribeLimits (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'OnDemandStreamCount': 'integer', 'OnDemandStreamCountLimit': 'integer'}

If you update your account limits, the old limits might be returned for a few minutes.

This operation has a limit of one transaction per second per account.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • ShardLimit (integer) --

      The maximum number of shards.

    • OpenShardCount (integer) --

      The number of open shards.

    • OnDemandStreamCount (integer) --

      Indicates the number of data streams with the on-demand capacity mode.

    • OnDemandStreamCountLimit (integer) --

DescribeStream (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'StreamDescription': {'StreamModeDetails': {'StreamMode': 'PROVISIONED | '
                                                           'ON_DEMAND'}}}

Describes the specified Kinesis data stream.

Note

This API has been revised. It's highly recommended that you use the DescribeStreamSummary API to get a summarized description of the specified Kinesis data stream and the ListShards API to list the shards in a specified data stream and obtain information about each shard.

The information returned includes the stream name, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), creation time, enhanced metric configuration, and shard map. The shard map is an array of shard objects. For each shard object, there is the hash key and sequence number ranges that the shard spans, and the IDs of any earlier shards that played in a role in creating the shard. Every record ingested in the stream is identified by a sequence number, which is assigned when the record is put into the stream.

You can limit the number of shards returned by each call. For more information, see Retrieving Shards from a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide .

There are no guarantees about the chronological order shards returned. To process shards in chronological order, use the ID of the parent shard to track the lineage to the oldest shard.

This operation has a limit of 10 transactions per second per account.

Request Syntax

client.describe_stream(
    StreamName='string',
    Limit=123,

)
type StreamName

string

param StreamName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the stream to describe.

type Limit

integer

param Limit

The maximum number of shards to return in a single call. The default value is 100. If you specify a value greater than 100, at most 100 results are returned.

type ExclusiveStartShardId

string

param ExclusiveStartShardId

The shard ID of the shard to start with.

Specify this parameter to indicate that you want to describe the stream starting with the shard whose ID immediately follows ExclusiveStartShardId .

If you don't specify this parameter, the default behavior for DescribeStream is to describe the stream starting with the first shard in the stream.
