Describes the specified Kinesis data stream.
This API has been revised. It's highly recommended that you use the DescribeStreamSummary
API to get a summarized description of the specified Kinesis data stream and the ListShards
API to list the shards in a specified data stream and obtain information about each
shard.
When invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN
or the StreamName
parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN
input parameter
when you invoke this API.
The information returned includes the stream name, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), creation time, enhanced metric configuration, and shard map. The shard map is an array of shard objects. For each shard object, there is the hash key and sequence number ranges that the shard spans, and the IDs of any earlier shards that played in a role in creating the shard. Every record ingested in the stream is identified by a sequence number, which is assigned when the record is put into the stream.
You can limit the number of shards returned by each call. For more information, see Retrieving Shards from a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
There are no guarantees about the chronological order shards returned. To process shards in chronological order, use the ID of the parent shard to track the lineage to the oldest shard.
This operation has a limit of 10 transactions per second per account.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DescribeStreamAsync.
