Merges two adjacent shards in a Kinesis data stream and combines them into a single shard to reduce the stream's capacity to ingest and transport data. This API is only supported for the data streams with the provisioned capacity mode. Two shards are considered adjacent if the union of the hash key ranges for the two shards form a contiguous set with no gaps. For example, if you have two shards, one with a hash key range of 276...381 and the other with a hash key range of 382...454, then you could merge these two shards into a single shard that would have a hash key range of 276...454. After the merge, the single child shard receives data for all hash key values covered by the two parent shards.
NoteWhen invoking this API, you must use either the StreamARN
or the StreamName
parameter, or both. It is recommended that you use the StreamARN
input parameter when you invoke this API.
MergeShards
is called when there is a need to reduce the overall capacity of a stream because of excess capacity that is not being used. You must specify the shard to be merged and the adjacent shard for a stream. For more information about merging shards, see Merge Two Shards in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
If the stream is in the ACTIVE
state, you can call MergeShards
. If a stream is in the CREATING
, UPDATING
, or DELETING
state, MergeShards
returns a ResourceInUseException
. If the specified stream does not exist, MergeShards
returns a ResourceNotFoundException
.
You can use DescribeStreamSummary to check the state of the stream, which is returned in StreamStatus
.
MergeShards
is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a MergeShards
request, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams immediately returns a response and sets the StreamStatus
to UPDATING
. After the operation is completed, Kinesis Data Streams sets the StreamStatus
to ACTIVE
. Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the UPDATING
state.
You use DescribeStreamSummary and the ListShards APIs to determine the shard IDs that are specified in the MergeShards
request.
If you try to operate on too many streams in parallel using CreateStream, DeleteStream, MergeShards
, or SplitShard, you receive a LimitExceededException
.
MergeShards
has a limit of five transactions per second per account.

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.
ErrorsFor information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.
Specifies that you do not have the permissions required to perform this operation.
HTTP Status Code: 400
A specified parameter exceeds its restrictions, is not supported, or can't be used. For more information, see the returned message.
HTTP Status Code: 400
The requested resource exceeds the maximum number allowed, or the number of concurrent stream requests exceeds the maximum number allowed.
HTTP Status Code: 400
The resource is not available for this operation. For successful operation, the resource must be in the ACTIVE
state.
HTTP Status Code: 400
The requested resource could not be found. The stream might not be specified correctly.
HTTP Status Code: 400
Specifies that you tried to invoke this API for a data stream with the on-demand capacity mode. This API is only supported for data streams with the provisioned capacity mode.
