deleteDeliveryStream

Deletes a Firehose stream and its data.

You can delete a Firehose stream only if it is in one of the following states: ACTIVE, DELETING, CREATING_FAILED, or DELETING_FAILED. You can't delete a Firehose stream that is in the CREATING state. To check the state of a Firehose stream, use DescribeDeliveryStream.

DeleteDeliveryStream is an asynchronous API. When an API request to DeleteDeliveryStream succeeds, the Firehose stream is marked for deletion, and it goes into the DELETING state.While the Firehose stream is in the DELETING state, the service might continue to accept records, but it doesn't make any guarantees with respect to delivering the data. Therefore, as a best practice, first stop any applications that are sending records before you delete a Firehose stream.

Removal of a Firehose stream that is in the DELETING state is a low priority operation for the service. A stream may remain in the DELETING state for several minutes. Therefore, as a best practice, applications should not wait for streams in the DELETING state to be removed.
