org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.serialization

Interface KinesisDeserializationSchema<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type created by the keyed deserialization schema.

All Superinterfaces:

ResultTypeQueryable<T>, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DynamoDBStreamsSchema, KinesisDeserializationSchemaWrapper

@PublicEvolving
public interface KinesisDeserializationSchema<T>
extends Serializable, ResultTypeQueryable<T>

This is a deserialization schema specific for the Flink Kinesis Consumer. Different from the basic DeserializationSchema, this schema offers additional Kinesis-specific information about the record that may be useful to the user application.

Method Summary

Method Detail

deserialize

T deserialize(byte[] recordValue,
              String partitionKey,
              String seqNum,
              long approxArrivalTimestamp,
              String stream,
              String shardId)
       throws IOException

Deserializes a Kinesis record's bytes. If the record cannot be deserialized, null may be returned. This informs the Flink Kinesis Consumer to process the Kinesis record without producing any output for it, i.e. effectively "skipping" the record.

Parameters:

recordValue - the record's value as a byte array

partitionKey - the record's partition key at the time of writing

seqNum - the sequence number of this record in the Kinesis shard

approxArrivalTimestamp - the server-side timestamp of when Kinesis received and stored the record

stream - the name of the Kinesis stream that this record was sent to

shardId - The identifier of the shard the record was sent to

Returns:

the deserialized message as an Java object (null if the message cannot be deserialized).

Throws:

IOException
