'Deletes a stream and all its shards and data. You must shut
down any applications that are operating on the stream before
you delete the stream. If an application attempts to operate
on a deleted stream, it will receive the exception
`ResourceNotFoundException`.
If the stream is in the `ACTIVE` state, you can delete it.
After a `DeleteStream` request, the specified stream is in the
`DELETING` state until Amazon Kinesis completes the deletion.
**Note:** Amazon Kinesis might continue to accept data read
and write operations, such as PutRecord, PutRecords, and
GetRecords, on a stream in the `DELETING` state until the
stream deletion is complete.
When you delete a stream, any shards in that stream are also
deleted, and any tags are dissociated from the stream.
You can use the DescribeStream operation to check the state of
the stream, which is returned in `StreamStatus`.
`DeleteStream` has a limit of 5 transactions per second per
account.
:type stream_name: string
:param stream_name: The name of the stream to delete.'
