AWS 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 is available at AWS Kinesis Firehose

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

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level.

For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.

  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).

  • directly in the Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.

  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.

  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Component Options

The AWS Kinesis Firehose component supports 20 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

cborEnabled (common)

This option will set the CBOR_ENABLED property during the execution.

true

boolean

configuration (producer)

Component configuration.

KinesisFirehose2Configuration

overrideEndpoint (common)

Set the need for overriding the endpoint. This option needs to be used in combination with uriEndpointOverride option.

false

boolean

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

operation (producer)

The operation to do in case the user don’t want to send only a record.

Enum values:

  • sendBatchRecord

  • createDeliveryStream

  • deleteDeliveryStream

  • describeDeliveryStream

  • updateDestination

KinesisFirehose2Operations

region (producer)

Usage

Static credentials, Default Credential Provider and Profile Credentials Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

The order of evaluation for Default Credentials Provider is the following:

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey

  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.

  • The shared credentials and config files.

  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.

  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

You have also the possibility of using Profile Credentials Provider, by specifying the useProfileCredentialsProvider option to true and profileCredentialsName to the profile name.

Only one of static, default and profile credentials could be used at the same time.

For more information about this you can look at AWS credentials documentation

Message Headers

The AWS Kinesis Firehose component supports 3 message header(s), which is/are listed below:

Name Description Default Type

CamelAwsKinesisFirehoseRecordId (producer)

String

CamelAwsKinesisFirehoseOperation (producer)

Constant: KINESIS_FIREHOSE_OPERATION

The operation we want to perform.

String

CamelAwsKinesisFirehoseDeliveryStreamName (producer)

Constant: KINESIS_FIREHOSE_STREAM_NAME

The name of the delivery stream.

String

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(…​).

Kinesis Firehose Producer operations

Camel-AWS s3 component provides the following operation on the producer side:

  • SendBatchRecord

  • CreateDeliveryStream

  • DeleteDeliveryStream

  • DescribeDeliveryStream

  • UpdateDestination

Send Batch Records Example

You can send an iterable of Kinesis Record (as the following example shows), or you can send directly a PutRecordBatchRequest POJO instance in the body.

    @Test
    public void testFirehoseBatchRouting() throws Exception {
        Exchange exchange = template.send("direct:start", ExchangePattern.InOnly, new Processor() {
            public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
                List<Record> recs = new ArrayList<Record>();
                Record rec = Record.builder().data(SdkBytes.fromString("Test1", Charset.defaultCharset())).build();
                Record rec1 = Record.builder().data(SdkBytes.fromString("Test2", Charset.defaultCharset())).build();
                recs.add(rec);
                recs.add(rec1);
                exchange.getIn().setBody(recs);
            }
        });
        assertNotNull(exchange.getIn().getBody());
    }

from("direct:start").to("aws2-kinesis-firehose://cc?amazonKinesisFirehoseClient=#FirehoseClient&operation=sendBatchRecord");

In the deliveryStream you’ll find "Test1Test2".

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.
