Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai updated FLINK-7224:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently, all Kafka consumer version still have this in the Javadoc:

{code}
The implementation currently accesses partition metadata when the consumer
is constructed. That means that the client that submits the program needs to be 
able to
reach the Kafka brokers or ZooKeeper.
{code}

This is also the case for the documentation:
{code}
The current FlinkKafkaConsumer implementation will establish a connection from 
the client (when calling the constructor) for querying the list of topics and 
partitions.

For this to work, the consumer needs to be able to access the consumers from 
the machine submitting the job to the Flink cluster. If you experience any 
issues with the Kafka consumer on the client side, the client log might contain 
information about failed requests, etc.
{code}

These statements are no longer true since Flink 1.3. partition metadata happens 
only in {{open()}}.
