This is an Amazon Kinesis Consumer Library application written in python. It provides simple unbuffered consumers that output records as-is.
This connector writes records to a TCP socket described by ADDRESS such as 127.0.0.1:4567.
This connector writes records to a file described by FILE_BUFFER. FILE_BUFFER cannot be /dev/stdout, because the KCL uses stdin and stdout of the python process to send and receive control messages for its Java MultiLangDaemon.
