 - If no Kinesis checkpoint info exists when the input DStream starts, it will start either from the oldest record available (`InitialPositionInStream.TRIM_HORIZON`) or from the latest tip (`InitialPositionInStream.LATEST`).  This is configurable.
   - `InitialPositionInStream.LATEST` could lead to missed records if data is added to the stream while no input DStreams are running (and no checkpoint info is being stored).
   - `InitialPositionInStream.TRIM_HORIZON` may lead to duplicate processing of records where the impact is dependent on checkpoint frequency and processing idempotency.

+#### Kinesis retry configuration
+ - `spark.streaming.kinesis.retry.waitTime` : Wait time between Kinesis retries as a duration string. When reading from Amazon Kinesis, users may hit `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException`'s, when consuming faster than 5 transactions/second or, exceeding the maximum read rate of 2 MB/second. This configuration can be tweaked to increase the sleep between fetches when a fetch fails to reduce these exceptions. Default is "100ms".
+ - `spark.streaming.kinesis.retry.maxAttempts` : Max number of retries for Kinesis fetches. This config can also be used to tackle the Kinesis `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException`'s in scenarios mentioned above. It can be increased to have more number of retries for Kinesis reads. Default is 3.
