List Shards and Read From First
with Amazon Kinesis
List shards, then read from the first shard at the trim horizon.
- List the shards in the stream and capture the id of the first shard to read from.
- Get a TRIM_HORIZON iterator for the first shard, positioning the reader at the oldest untrimmed record in that shard.
- Read records from the first shard using the iterator, returning the records and the next iterator for continued reading.
What you'll need to have ready
- streamName: The name of the Kinesis data stream to inspect and read from.
