Option	Description
Input name	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.
Output name	The Output name can be mapped to subscriber and member requirements.
Type	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 The default value is String.
