"EventsOutOfOrderPolicy": "string",
"Sku": {
"Name": "string",
"StreamingUnits": "integer"
},
"CompatibilityLevel": "string",

|EventsOutOfOrderMaxDelayInSeconds|integer|No|The maximum tolerable delay in seconds where out-of-order events can be adjusted to be back in order.|
|EventsOutOfOrderPolicy|string|No|Indicates the policy to apply to events that arrive out of order in the input event stream. - Adjust or Drop|
