AWS Kinesis Firehose

Since Camel 2.19

Only producer is supported

The Kinesis Firehose component supports sending messages to Amazon Kinesis Firehose service.

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

URI Format

aws-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 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

AmazonKinesisFirehose

configuration (producer)

The component configuration

KinesisFirehoseConfiguration

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 client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1)You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()

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 Kinesis Firehose endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

Required Kinesis Firehose component options

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

Usage

Amazon Kinesis Firehose configuration

You will need to create an instance of AmazonKinesisClient and bind it to the registry

ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);

Region region = Region.getRegion(Regions.fromName(region));
region.createClient(AmazonKinesisClient.class, null, clientConfiguration);
// the 'null' here is the AWSCredentialsProvider which defaults to an instance of DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain

registry.bind("kinesisFirehoseClient", client);

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

from("aws-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 AmazonKinesisFirehose 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-aws-kinesis</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

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

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-kinesis with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-kinesis-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
