AWS 2 Kinesis Firehose

Since Camel 3.2

Only producer is supported

The AWS2 Kinesis Firehose component supports sending messages to Amazon Kinesis Firehose service (Batch not supported).

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon Kinesis Firehose. More information are available at AWS Kinesis Firehose

The AWS2 Kinesis Firehose component is not supported in OSGI

URI Format

aws2-kinesis-firehose://delivery-stream-name[?options]

The stream needs to be created prior to it being used.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS 2 Kinesis Firehose component supports 10 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amazonKinesisFirehoseClient (producer)

Amazon Kinesis Firehose client to use for all requests for this endpoint

FirehoseClient

configuration (producer)

Component configuration

KinesisFirehose2Configuration

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

proxyHost (producer)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the Kinesis Firehose client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the Kinesis Firehose client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the Kinesis Firehose client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which Kinesis Firehose client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the lowercase name of the region (for example ap-east-1) You’ll need to use the name Region.EU_WEST_1.id()

String

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

accessKey (security)

Amazon AWS Access Key

String

secretKey (security)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

The AWS 2 Kinesis Firehose endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

aws2-kinesis-firehose:streamName

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

streamName

Required Name of the stream

String

Query Parameters (10 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

amazonKinesisFirehoseClient (producer)

Amazon Kinesis Firehose client to use for all requests for this endpoint

false

boolean

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

Amazon AWS Secret Key

Required Kinesis Firehose component options

You have to provide the FirehoseClient in the Registry with proxies and relevant credentials configured.

Usage

Amazon Kinesis Firehose configuration

You then have to reference the FirehoseClient in the amazonKinesisFirehoseClient URI option.

from("aws2-kinesis-firehose://mykinesisdeliverystream?amazonKinesisFirehoseClient=#kinesisClient")
  .to("log:out?showAll=true");

Providing AWS Credentials

It is recommended that the credentials are obtained by using the DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain that is the default when creating a new ClientConfiguration instance, however, a different AWSCredentialsProvider can be specified when calling createClient(…​).

Message headers set by the Kinesis producer on successful storage of a Record

Header Type Description

CamelAwsKinesisFirehoseRecordId

String

The record ID, as defined in Response Syntax

Automatic detection of AmazonKinesisFirehose client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an FirehoseClient bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-kinesis</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.
