This needs to go into 0.9.1, so the diamond operators are going to be a
problem
There is no difference, currently, between the 0.8.2 and the 0.8.1 Kafka
consumers. Should we even differentiate between them, or only port the
`PersistentKafkaSource` to extend the `FlinkKafkaConsumer`
> Implement Kafka connector using the new Kafka Consumer API

> Key: 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.
