Firehose support

[myco]

Hi, do you have Kinesis Firehose support in your plans?

[Daniel-t]

Not yet, but its easy to add new nodes now. I'll add it to the list for a soonish release.

If your keen, you can build it by running gen_scripts/run_build.js , copy the firehose html and js scripts to the parent directory and updating the package.json. If it works for you please issue a pull request and I'll bring it straight in.

I made initial support for firehose. For now only putRecord method, because I created it manually. Didn't know how to run gen_scripts/run_build.js Is there some instruction about it?

Pull Request: #42

Added initial Firehose support, could you please test it and confirm if its functional.

This does not use msg.Payload as Record.

So where is it? I can not find any correlated commit.

I think it's important to pass somehow records from other blocks. It doesn't need to be msg.Payload. Can be msg.Record instead.

BTW. According to documentation https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Firehose.html#putRecord-property putRecord takes 'Record' as { Data: new Buffer(...) }

[Daniel-t]

Ok no idea what happened there. I’ll push another version today.

You will be able to use Record to pass details in for those functions that support it.

OK, it works! { Data: new Buffer(payload) }

Thank you
