[AWS TA] Data being delayed after 5.0.3 upgrade.

[sylim_splunk]

We are seeing delay in indexing - this started to happen after the AWS TA 5.0.3 upgrade from 4.0.6.

In the TA log there are many ERROR messages which appears to be much relevant.

This is a code error triggered by an incompatible behavioral change since python 3.7.

Apply the following patch to fix this problem.

1. Open bin/splunk_ta_aws/modinputs/kinesis/aws_kinesis_common.py by any text editor.
2. Replace `raise StopIteration()` by `return`.

You should find three occurrence at the line 251, 258 and 273.
