I am using the Kinesis Data Generator tool and I was wondering how to define the partition key in the test data so that the data is distributed to all the shard evenly.

  • I use that tool. It already distributes data evenly (probably generates a unique id per record). You don't need to worry about that. – 404 Jul 06 '22 at 10:02
  • Can confirm by enabling shard-level metrics specifically incoming records, I was able to see in cloud watch that the records are roughly distributed evenly among the shards. – zimmerdimmer Jul 11 '22 at 15:43

The tool already distributes data evenly which can be verified by enabling shard-level metrics specifically the incoming records metric.
