The input name is received from the Kinesis streams. The following are received by default:

message

The individual message contained in a record. Each record consists of a sequence number, a partition key, and a message.

partition key

Used to group data by shard within a stream. The partition key is associated with each data record to determine which shard a given data record belongs to.

sequence number

A sequential ID number assigned to each record. It uniquely identifies each record within the partition.

subsequence number

Because all subrecords within a record have the same sequence number, additional data is stored with the checkpoint if you need to distinguish between subrecords. This additional data is the subsequence number.

shard id

The unique identifier of the shard within the stream.

The Type field defines the data format for streaming the record. You must choose the same data type that produced the records. This field applies to the message input names. Options include:

• String
• Boolean
• Number
• Integer
• Binary
