Input - Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (formerly Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink)
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Input

When you configure the application input for a SQL-based Kinesis Data Analytics application, you specify the streaming source, the in-application stream name that is created, and the mapping between the two.

Contents

InputSchema

Describes the format of the data in the streaming source, and how each data element maps to corresponding columns in the in-application stream that is being created.

Also used to describe the format of the reference data source.

Type: SourceSchema object

Required: Yes

NamePrefix

The name prefix to use when creating an in-application stream. Suppose that you specify a prefix "MyInApplicationStream." Kinesis Data Analytics then creates one or more (as per the InputParallelism count you specified) in-application streams with the names "MyInApplicationStream_001," "MyInApplicationStream_002," and so on.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 32.

Pattern: [^-\s<>&]*

Required: Yes

InputParallelism

Describes the number of in-application streams to create.

Type: InputParallelism object

Required: No

InputProcessingConfiguration

The InputProcessingConfiguration for the input. An input processor transforms records as they are received from the stream, before the application's SQL code executes. Currently, the only input processing configuration available is InputLambdaProcessor.

Type: InputProcessingConfiguration object

Required: No

KinesisFirehoseInput

If the streaming source is an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream, identifies the delivery stream's ARN.

Type: KinesisFirehoseInput object

Required: No

KinesisStreamsInput

If the streaming source is an Amazon Kinesis data stream, identifies the stream's Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
