delete_stream

Operation

delete_stream async

delete_stream(input: DeleteStreamInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> DeleteStreamOutput

Deletes a Kinesis data stream and all its shards and data. You must shut down any applications that are operating on the stream before you delete the stream. If an application attempts to operate on a deleted stream, it receives the exception ResourceNotFoundException.

Note

When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN or the StreamName parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN input parameter when you invoke this API.

If the stream is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. After a DeleteStream request, the specified stream is in the DELETING state until Kinesis Data Streams completes the deletion.

Note: Kinesis Data Streams might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as PutRecord, PutRecords, and GetRecords, on a stream in the DELETING state until the stream deletion is complete.

When you delete a stream, any shards in that stream are also deleted, and any tags are dissociated from the stream.

You can use the DescribeStreamSummary operation to check the state of the stream, which is returned in StreamStatus.

DeleteStream has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input DeleteStreamInput

An instance of DeleteStreamInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
DeleteStreamOutput

An instance of DeleteStreamOutput.

Input

DeleteStreamInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Represents the input for DeleteStream.

Attributes

enforce_consumer_deletion class-attribute instance-attribute
enforce_consumer_deletion: bool | None = ...

If this parameter is unset (null) or if you set it to false, and the stream has registered consumers, the call to DeleteStream fails with a ResourceInUseException.

stream_arn class-attribute instance-attribute
stream_arn: str | None = ...

The ARN of the stream.

stream_id class-attribute instance-attribute
stream_id: str | None = ...

Not Implemented. Reserved for future use.

stream_name class-attribute instance-attribute
stream_name: str | None = ...

The name of the stream to delete.

Output

DeleteStreamOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for DeleteStreamOutput structure.

Attributes

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
