Hi:

I am trying to understand how does Flink coordinate multiple kinesis consumers and am trying to find out:

1. Is it possible to read same kinesis stream independently multiple times within a single application ? How does Flink coordinate consuming same kinesis multiple times in a single application ? Are there any issues that can arise from this pattern ?

2. How does Flink coordinate consumers of same kinesis stream across multiple applications ? 

Thanks
