Media Insights Engine Beta 0.1.5

This Media Insights Engine Beta 0.1.5 release includes changes necessary to support 2 hour long videos.

Details:

The key to supporting 2 hour videos was to allow step functions to pass a pagination token from one "check status" Lambda invocation to another. Now, Rekognition operators will persist 10 pages at a time, then stop and pass the pagination token to the step function so it can repeatedly restart the "check status" Lambda until there are no more pages left to read.

Prior to this release, Rekognition operators would timeout when trying to save large quantities of paged results, which was often the case with label_detection and face_detection.

Other changes:

• Increase timeouts and memory allocations for Lambda functions based on test results from a 2 hour movie (Amélie).
• add API documentation to README
• Split input text in the translate operator so it does not exceed the 5000 characters max allowed by AWS Translate service limit.
• split bulk elasticsearch inserts in order to avoid exceeding max payload size
• If data is empty, skip ES insert. Data is often empty for operators like content moderation when processing non-explicit videos.

GUI changes:

• Remove unusued GUI artifacts for Polly and AutoML.
• Fix autofill for 1Password on the Login form
• Raise max file upload size to 2GB in the GUI.
• allow analysis button to open in new tab
• fade delete alert after 5 seconds
• Change workflow configuration form so users only have to set the language for Transcribe and Translate once. Used to be that users would have to set that language preference twice, but now, since both Transcribe and Translate use the same source language, users can just specify this option once.

CloudFormation template changes:

• Make the Cloudfront URL a clickable link in the outputs from both the webapp CF template and the base stack template.
• Update the email template for the Cognito invite message so it includes a link to the stack.
