Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-8824:
-------------------------------------
You are right, nested classes are the problematic case. Arrays and primitive
types do not make sense in these places anyways.
This one case (nested classes) is a good reason to fix this. Plus we set the
right example for how to do things for future contributors.
> In Kafka Consumers, replace 'getCanonicalName()' with 'getClassName()'

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen

> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.5.0

> The connector uses {{getCanonicalName()}} in all places, gather than
> {{getClassName()}}.
> {{getCanonicalName()}}'s intention is to normalize class names for arrays,
> etc, but is problematic when instantiating classes from class names.
