The Kinesis Scaling Utility is designed to give you the ability to scale Amazon Kinesis Streams in the same way that you scale EC2 Auto Scaling groups – up or down by a count or as a percentage of the total fleet. You can also simply scale to an exact number of Shards. There is no requirement for you to manage the allocation of the keyspace to Shards when using this API, as it is done automatically.
This is the correct change - and thank you. Because I also have to bump the version and redeploy the binary with doc references, I'll merge your change but it wont be in 9.8.8 until a few mins later
Issue #, if available: 107
Description of changes: Use correct count & percentages for scaling.
