Since Kafka is Apache, copying should be okay. It is good style, though, to
add to every copied file a note of origin.
And this is a temporary solution anyways, since we can get rid of most of
the copied files as soon as the new Kafka release is properly out.
> Implement Kafka connector using the new Kafka Consumer API
> ----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-2386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2386
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Robert Metzger
>
> Once Kafka has released its new consumer API, we should provide a connector
> for that version.
> The release will probably be called 0.9 or 0.8.3.
> The connector will be mostly compatible with Kafka 0.8.2.x, except for
> committing offsets to the broker (the new connector expects a coordinator to
> be available on Kafka). To work around that, we can provide a configuration
> option to commit offsets to zookeeper (managed by flink code).
> For 0.9/0.8.3 it will be fully compatible.
> It will not be compatible with 0.8.1 because of mismatching Kafka messages.
