It it possible to access streams defined by the DynamoDBStreams service with the Kinesis SDK? For example, using C++, is it possible to get info on a stream added by, say

$ aws dynamodb update-table --stream-specification ...

with

Aws::Kinesis::KinesisClient::DescribeStream()

? (This would mean "switching" the service Kinesis targets. AFAIK it is not possible since Kinesis and DynamoDBStreams services are disjunct, however, they have common conceptual points.)

It's impossible, yet they do share a similar API:

The DynamoDB Streams API provides the following actions for use by application programs:

  • ListStreams—returns a list of stream descriptors for the current account and endpoint. You can optionally request just the stream
    descriptors for a particular table name.

  • DescribeStream—returns detailed information about a given stream. The output includes a list of shards associated with the stream, including the shard IDs.

  • GetShardIterator—returns a shard iterator, which describes a location within a shard. You can request that the iterator provide access to the oldest point, the newest point, or a particular point in the stream.

  • GetRecords—returns the stream records from within a given shard. You must provide the shard iterator returned from a GetShardIterator request.
