Use case

Original issue: aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-python#6627

To implement stateful Kinesis Data Streams, customers can enable tumbling window in their ESM configuration for Kinesis and DynamoDB stream. When they do this, the payload has some extra keys such as window, state, shardId, isFinalInvokeForWindow and isWindowTerminatedEarly.

    "isFinalInvokeForWindow": false,
    "isWindowTerminatedEarly": false
}

While adding these fields to our zod schemas is enough to parse events, we still need to discuss - in a separate issue maybe - how to modify our BatchProcessing utility to support these scenarios, as we need to return an additional state field when using PartialFailure.

I'm not following, is this an issue to add these fields to the schemas in Parser or to support this behavior with Batch Processing?

Cool, thanks.

For Kinesis, we should add the fields mentioned above to this schema.

For DynamoDB I am not sure how the new payload looks like, so we'll have to test before we know for sure.

The new fields for DDB Stream are almost the same - or exactly the same - as the ones you need to add to Kinesis:
