------------------------------------------

             Summary: Dedicated Configuration classes for Kinesis Consumer / Producer
                 Key: FLINK-4195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4195
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai


While fixing FLINK-4170, I feel that configuration and default value setting & validation is quite messy and unconsolidated for the current state of the code, and will likely become worse as more configs grow for the Kinesis connector.

I propose to have a dedicated configuration class (instead of only Java properties) along the lines of Flink's own {{Configuration}}, so that the usage pattern is alike. There will be separate configuration classes for {{FlinkKinesisConsumerConfig}} and {{FlinkKinesisProducerConfig}}.

[~uce] [~rmetzger] What do you think? This will break the interface, so if we're to change this, I'd prefer to fix it along with FLINK-4170 for Flink 1.1.
