Description

Currently the KinesisClientLibConfiguration for KCL Workers is created within the KinesisReceiver and user is allowed to change only basic settings such as endpoint URL, stream name, credentials, etc.

However, there is no way to tune some advanced settings, e.g. MaxRecords, IdleTimeBetweenReads, FailoverTime, etc.

We can add these settings to the Spark configuration and parametrize KinesisClientLibConfiguration with them in KinesisReceiver.
