Required parameters for data transformation - Amazon Data Firehose

Firehose supports database as a source in all AWS Regions except China Regions, AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and Asia Pacific (Malaysia). This feature is in preview and is subject to change. Do not use it for your production workloads.

Required parameters for data transformation

All transformed records from Lambda must contain the following parameters, or Amazon Data Firehose rejects them and treats that as a data transformation failure.

For Kinesis Data Streams and Direct PUT

The following parameters are required for all transformed records from Lambda.

  • recordId – The record ID is passed from Amazon Data Firehose to Lambda during the invocation. The transformed record must contain the same record ID. Any mismatch between the ID of the original record and the ID of the transformed record is treated as a data transformation failure.

  • result – The status of the data transformation of the record. The possible values are: Ok (the record was transformed successfully), Dropped (the record was dropped intentionally by your processing logic), and ProcessingFailed (the record could not be transformed). If a record has a status of Ok or Dropped, Amazon Data Firehose considers it successfully processed. Otherwise, Amazon Data Firehose considers it unsuccessfully processed.

  • data – The transformed data payload, after base64-encoding.

    Following is a sample Lambda result output:

    { "recordId": "<recordId from the Lambda input>", "result": "Ok", "data": "<Base64 encoded Transformed data>" }
For Amazon MSK

The following parameters are required for all transformed records from Lambda.

  • recordId – The record ID is passed from Firehose to Lambda during the invocation. The transformed record must contain the same record ID. Any mismatch between the ID of the original record and the ID of the transformed record is treated as a data transformation failure.

  • result – The status of the data transformation of the record. The possible values are: Ok (the record was transformed successfully), Dropped (the record was dropped intentionally by your processing logic), and ProcessingFailed (the record could not be transformed). If a record has a status of Ok or Dropped, Firehose considers it successfully processed. Otherwise, Firehose considers it unsuccessfully processed.

  • KafkaRecordValue – The transformed data payload, after base64-encoding.

    Following is a sample Lambda result output:

    { "recordId": "<recordId from the Lambda input>", "result": "Ok", "kafkaRecordValue": "<Base64 encoded Transformed data>" }
