We are evaluating real-time event processing engines (like twitter storm) One of the options is recently released Amazon Kinesis.
I'm wondering if there is any sort of emulator/sandbox environment available that would allow to play around with kinesis a bit without the need to set up AWS account and paying for the use of the service
Thank you in advance

I've been using kinesalite for a while now and it seems to work quite well.
Since I don't really like to have node packages into my machine, I've also created a docker image for it.
Hope this helps.

EMR recently launched Kinesis integration for tools in Hadoop ecosystem, you may want to try and see if your usecases can be addressed there. http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2014/02/process-streaming-data-with-kinesis-and-elastic-mapreduce.html
