**Please** add a meaningful description for your change here https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/15951 was the original trigger: basically the `DataflowRunner` replaced my SDF-based `withStopReadTime` configured `KafkaIO.Read` with a legacy read that completely lacked support for that configuration. IMO there was two way to fix this. Either make the replacement "smart" to avoid doing it/fail-fast if it would mean a lost functionality, or completely get rid of the responsible `PTransformOverride`. So I started digging why is it needed, and why is it there. I might be missing something, but hear me out. **2021-04-13** So `KafkaIO.Read.KAFKA_READ_OVERRIDE` was introduced to multiple runners in https://github.com/apache/beam/commit/f2cc92663ad8ae685183e076cdb652d8fc3ba4e0 - the reasons aren't completely clear for me, and looking at the current code I'm even more baffled, but keep going. **2021-05-19** https://github.com/apache/beam/commit/99b1a926decaf372e763ea409e1d42703dda59c8 removed the `KafkaIO.Read.KAFKA_READ_OVERRIDE` from various Spark runners and instead added experiments to "*Populate experiments directly to have Kafka use legacy read.*". This seems logical to me although - yet again - I have no idea why `DataflowRunner` wasn't touched. **2021-05-20** We arrived at https://github.com/apache/beam/commit/c097d8424678813901ac46f2fe674cfe71e67430 which again did some changes in the previously already modified runners. Instead of having the code responsible for the replacement in every runner, it was moved to `KafkaIO`. Yet again `DataflowRunner` was still excluded, but it had a reason now: "*Only Dataflow runner requires sdf read at this moment. For other non-portable runners, if it doesn't specify use_sdf_read, it will use legacy read regarding to performance concern.*" ------------------------ So assuming the comment from the last commit - which is still there verbatim even today - is accurate what this tells me at this point is, that with `DataflowRunner` it's not only **supported**, but actually **preferred/required** to have SDF read. Also the comment introduced in the first commit for the `KafkaIO.Read.KAFKA_READ_OVERRIDE` is also still there and unchanged, saying: "*A `PTransformOverride` for runners to swap `ReadFromKafkaViaSDF` to legacy Kafka read if runners doesn't have a good support on executing unbounded Splittable DoFn.*" What this tells me that it should be used for runners **not supporting** SDF read. Based on these two statements I would say it's safe to say `DataflowRunner` should **NOT** have it **AT ALL**. This PR intends to solve this problem. If you know a scenario when it's actually required I'm okay with modifying the replacement to replace it only in special scenarios, but right now I couldn't find any that would require something like that. ------------------------ Thank you for your contribution!
