kpl-scala

A lightweight Scala wrapper around Kinesis Producer Library (KPL).

The main benefit of this library is working with Scala-native Futures when interacting with KPL.

Installation

resolvers in ThisBuild += Resolver.bintrayRepo("streetcontxt", "maven")
libraryDependencies += "com.streetcontxt" %% "kpl-scala" % "1.0.5"

Usage

Here is a simple app that initializes the Kinesis producer and sends a string message.

import com.amazonaws.auth.DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain
import com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.producer.KinesisProducerConfiguration
import com.contxt.kinesis.ScalaKinesisProducer
import java.nio.ByteBuffer
import scala.concurrent.Await
import scala.concurrent.duration._

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val producerConfig = new KinesisProducerConfiguration()
      .setCredentialsProvider(new DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain)
      .setRegion("us-east-1")

    val producer = ScalaKinesisProducer("myStream", producerConfig)

    val sendFuture = producer.send(
      partitionKey = "myKey",
      data = ByteBuffer.wrap("myMessage".getBytes("UTF-8"))
    )
    Await.result(sendFuture, 10.seconds)
    Await.result(producer.shutdown(), Duration.Inf)
  }
}

Amazon Licensing Restrictions

KPL license is not compatible with open source licenses! See this discussion for more details.

As such, the licensing terms of this library is Apache 2 license PLUS whatever restrictions are imposed by the KPL license.

No Message Ordering

Kinesis producer library does not provide message ordering guarantees at a reasonable throughput, see this ticket for more details.

Integration Tests

This library is tested as part of kcl-akka-stream integration tests.
