Usage of kineis-tail:
  -f    tailing kinesis stream forever or not (like: tail -f) (default true)
  -interval duration
        seconds for waiting next GetRecords request. (default 3s)
  -iterator-type string
        iterator type. Choose from TRIM_HORIZON(default), AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, AT_TIMESTAMP or LATEST. (default "TRIM_HORIZON")
  -limit int
        limit records length of each GetRecords request. (default 100)
  -max-item-size int
        max byte size per item for printing. (default 4096)
  -region string
        the AWS region where your Kinesis Stream is. (default "ap-northeast-1")
  -start-time string
        timestamp to start reading. only enable when iterator type is AT_TIMESTAMP. acceptable format is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD (RFC3339 format)
  -stream string
        your stream name (default "your-stream")

How does it works:

• At first, describe stream.
• Get shard iterator.
• GetRecords iteratively.
