further explaination needs reader_sleep_time=12

[ahmadjd94]

I have a question regarding setting the sleep interval for the subprocesses in the consumer
reader_sleep_time=12
should setting the variable actually slow down the loop (the iter overrided in the class), or does it internally set the sleep interval for the subprocess that is listening the stream?

I could not find anything regarding that in the documentation.
thanks

Hi @ahmadjd94,

Pardon the delay on replying to this issue.

The reader_sleep_time controls how often the subprocess that reads from each shard polls the Kinesis end point. The default value of 1.0 is generally sufficient if you're the only thing reading from the shards. You would want to supply a larger value if there are multiple different systems reading from the same shards to prevent having to deal with throttling from the AWS APIs.
