sample app regionName property is ignored about amazon-kinesis-client-python HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @mccomplete,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The amazon_kclpy is packaged with the aws-java-sdk 1.7 right now which did not support the eu-central-1 region. That region is supported as of the 1.9.2 release of the aws-java-sdk. With the 1.9 releases the various components of the sdk have been broken up into smaller modules so we'll need to work out exactly which subset of the new packages we would like to ship along with amazon_kclpy

I the meantime I have a solution which should unblock you. I was able to get the sample working with eu-central-1 with the following steps:

• Download the latest version of the sdk here: aws-java-sdk (should be 1.9.something)
• unzip aws-java-sdk-1.9.8.zip
• I then found the complete jar at this location aws-java-sdk-1.9.8/lib/aws-java-sdk-1.9.8.jar

Then the 1.9.8 jar can be prepended to the class path using the helper script's --classpath option

amazon_kclpy_helper.py --print_command --java <path-to-java> --properties <path-to-properties> --classpath aws-java-sdk-1.9.8/lib/aws-java-sdk-1.9.8.jar

from amazon-kinesis-client-python.

I can confirm that this suggested workaround is working.

Thanks!

Hi.
I have a same issue in ap-northeast-1 region. In this region, is cause of this problem same, too?

But I've resolved this problem by using --region-name argument at sample_kinesis_wordputter.py (not using regionName = ap-notheast-1 in sample.properties).

Yes its the same problem. The older version do not read the sample.properties file properly it seems. The solution mentioned by @knorwood is a good fix until the latest fix gets deployed into PIP.

Here was my solution:
pip install amazon_kclpy pyyaml
wget http://sdk-for-java.amazonwebservices.com/latest/aws-java-sdk.zip -O aws-java-sdk.zip
&& unzip aws-java-sdk.zip
&& rm -rf aws-java-sdk.zip
AWS_SDK_VERSION=ls -1 | grep 'aws-java-sdk-\d*' | awk -F'-' '{ print $4 }'
echo "Starting KCL, AWS_SDK_VERSION=${AWS_SDK_VERSION}"
MULTILANG_DAEMON_PATH=python /home/kinesis/kcl/cmd_helper.py --print_command --java /usr/bin/java --properties /home/kinesis/kcl/app.properties --classpath /home/kinesis/aws-java-sdk-${AWS_SDK_VERSION}/lib/aws-java-sdk-${AWS_SDK_VERSION}.jar
/bin/bash -c "${MULTILANG_DAEMON_PATH}"

OK! Thanks.

Closing this issue, as more recent releases have updated the AWS SDK to a version that supports this region.
