在 Python 中开发 Kinesis Client Library 消费端

您可以使用 Kinesis 客户端库 (KCL) 来构建用于处理来自 Kinesis 数据流的数据的应用程序。Kinesis Client Library 提供多种语言版本。本主题将讨论 Python。

KCL是一个 Java 库；对 Java 以外其他语言的支持是使用名为的多语言接口提供的MultiLangDaemon。此守护程序基于 Java，当您使用 Java 以外的KCL语言时，它会在后台运行。因此，如果您安装KCL适用于 Python 的，并完全使用 Python 编写使用者应用程序，则仍然需要在系统上安装 Java，因为 MultiLangDaemon。此外 MultiLangDaemon ，您可能需要根据自己的用例自定义一些默认设置，例如它所连接的 AWS 区域。有关 MultiLangDaemon on 的更多信息 GitHub，请转到KCL MultiLangDaemon 项目页面。

要KCL从中下载 Python GitHub，请前往 Kinesis 客户端库 (Python)。要下载 Python 使用KCL者应用程序的示例代码，请转到上KCL的 Python 示例项目页面 GitHub。

在 Python 中实现使用KCL者应用程序时，必须完成以下任务：

实现 RecordProcessor 类方法

RecordProcess 类必须扩展 RecordProcessorBase 类以实现以下方法：

initialize
process_records
shutdown_requested

此示例提供了可用作起点的实现。

应用程序名称

KCL需要的应用程序名称在您的应用程序和同一区域的 Amazon DynamoDB 表中必须是唯一的。KCL 通过以下方法使用应用程序名称配置值：

凭证

您必须将您的 AWS 证书提供给默认凭证提供者链中的一个凭证提供商。可以使用 AWSCredentialsProvider 属性设置凭证提供程序。如果您在 Amazon EC2 实例上运行使用者应用程序，我们建议您为该实例配置一个IAM角色。 AWS 反映与此IAM角色关联的权限的证书可通过实例元数据提供给实例上的应用程序。这是管理在EC2实例上运行的使用者应用程序的凭证的最安全的方式。
