Kinesis bills every record rounded up to 1 KB, so this both amortizes that rounding and lets the compressor exploit redundancy across events -- measured at roughly 5x versus 2x on real CloudTrail data. Off by default; `partition_key_field` is ignored when enabled, since events within one record may disagree on it, and a random key is generated per record instead. Aggregation requires a compact `json` or `native_json` codec and refuses to build otherwise, including for `encoding.json.pretty`, since pretty-printed JSON emits literal newlines that would split one event into several on the consumer. diff --git a/src/sinks/aws_kinesis/streams/aggregation/build.rs b/src/sinks/aws_kinesis/streams/aggregation/build.rs index ed185e6f81de0..0d6e4c43c5633 100644 --- a/src/sinks/aws_kinesis/streams/aggregation/build.rs +++ b/src/sinks/aws_kinesis/streams/aggregation/build.rs @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ use std::marker::PhantomData; -use vector_lib::codecs::encoding::{Framer, NewlineDelimitedEncoder, Serializer}; +use vector_lib::codecs::encoding::{Framer, NewlineDelimitedEncoder, SerializerConfig}; use super::{request_builder::AggregateRequestBuilder, sink::AggregatedKinesisSink}; use crate::sinks::{ @@ -48,18 +48,20 @@ where _phantom_e: PhantomData, }); - let transformer = config.encoding.transformer(); - let serializer = config.encoding.build()?; - // Newline framing is what makes an aggregate splittable by the consumer, - // which is only sound if no event can contain a literal newline.
