DiscoverInputSchema

注意

This documentation is for version 1 of the Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics API, which only supports SQL applications. Version 2 of the API supports SQL and Java applications. For more information about version 2, see Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics API V2 Documentation.

Infers a schema by evaluating sample records on the specified streaming source (Amazon Kinesis stream or Amazon Kinesis Firehose delivery stream) or S3 object. In the response, the operation returns the inferred schema and also the sample records that the operation used to infer the schema.

You can use the inferred schema when configuring a streaming source for your application. For conceptual information, see Configuring Application Input. Note that when you create an application using the Amazon Kinesis Analytics console, the console uses this operation to infer a schema and show it in the console user interface.

This operation requires permissions to perform the kinesisanalytics:DiscoverInputSchema action.

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

InputSchema

Schema inferred from the streaming source. It identifies the format of the data in the streaming source and how each data element maps to corresponding columns in the in-application stream that you can create.

Type: SourceSchema object

ParsedInputRecords

An array of elements, where each element corresponds to a row in a stream record (a stream record can have more than one row).

Type: Array of arrays of strings

ProcessedInputRecords

Stream data that was modified by the processor specified in the InputProcessingConfiguration parameter.

Type: Array of strings

RawInputRecords

Raw stream data that was sampled to infer the schema.

Type: Array of strings

Errors

InvalidArgumentException

Specified input parameter value is invalid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceProvisionedThroughputExceededException

Discovery failed to get a record from the streaming source because of the Amazon Kinesis Streams ProvisionedThroughputExceededException. For more information, see GetRecords in the Amazon Kinesis Streams API Reference.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ServiceUnavailableException

The service is unavailable. Back off and retry the operation.

HTTP Status Code: 500

UnableToDetectSchemaException

Data format is not valid. Amazon Kinesis Analytics is not able to detect schema for the given streaming source.
