AWSCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain();

ClientConfiguration clientConfig = new ClientConfiguration();
AmazonKinesis kinesis = new AmazonKinesisClient(credentialsProvider, clientConfig);

# (2) send a put record

PutRecordRequest putRecord = new PutRecordRequest();
putRecord.setStreamName(streamName);
