Kinesis Write Record SDK retry

Question

Hi,

Does PutRecord SDK has retry feature as KPL? I have found the below link about handling failures

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/developing-producers-with-sdk.html

Can we say that that is a retry feature or something else?

Thank you.

Answer

By default SDK use `legacy` [retry mode](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-retry-behavior.html) and max attempts might differ by programming language. For example, [boto3](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/retries.html) (python) retries request for 5 times in legacy mode.
so you should check the language specific SDK documentation for retries.
