Hi pfifer!, thanks for your help, The comunity is in nedded.

I'm refactoring my PR, because I'm having problems with curator version, and I Thought that was PR #12

@christiangda You might want to try this instead https://github.com/apache/storm/tree/master/external/storm-kinesis This is better because it matches the curator used in storm. I have it working with very minor issues at the moment. Will post example on Monday.
Edit: Its the same sources btw . only merged with minor changes. Even though the source is in master or 2.x branch you can successfully use it in 1.x. I can confirm that
