AWS Kinesis Exporter as part of bundle

[Paulskit]

I see there is an AWS Kinesis Exporter already available in contrib repo for open telemetry. https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/exporter/awskinesisexporter

I think it should be a part of aws-otel package as well, since it provides export capabilities to one of the most widely used AWS services.

Any updates on whether this will be added soon, seems like a relatively small change @mhausenblas

[mhausenblas]

No immediate plans @dblooman but it's on our radar. Can you share your use case?

[dblooman]

We want to send traces to kinesis, then forward traces onto other services, tinybird, grafana cloud. We have multiple use cases for OTEL data

[Paulskit]

Our use case: legacy integration with Splunk. Logs put to Kinesis, then Splunk reads them from it.

Thank you @dblooman and @Paulskit and to make sure I understand: Kinesis serving as a buffer to manage back pressure? Similar to Kafka use cases we recently launched support for?

[dblooman]

That is one of the benefits yes, but we would prefer not to run kafka

Have we supported AWS Kinesis Exporter yet? We also have a usecase to send traces to Kinesis
