-----------------------------
I can confirm that this fix works.
> Flink Kafka fails with Incompatible KafkaProducer version /
> NoSuchFieldException sequenceNumbers
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-12104
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12104
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Affects Versions: 1.7.2
> Reporter: Tim
> Priority: Major
>
> FlinkKafkaProducer (in flink-connector-kafka-0.11) tries to access a field
> named `sequenceNumbers` from the KafkaProducer's TransactionManager. You can
> find this line on the [master branch
> here|[https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/d6be68670e661091d94a3c65a2704d52fc0e827c/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka-0.11/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/internal/FlinkKafkaProducer.java#L197].]
>
> {code:java}
> Object transactionManager = getValue(kafkaProducer, "transactionManager");
> ...
> Object sequenceNumbers = getValue(transactionManager, "sequenceNumbers");
> {code}
>
> However, the Kafka TransactionManager no longer has a "sequenceNumbers"
> field. This was changed back on 9/14/2017 (KAFKA-5494) in an effort to
> support multiple inflight requests while still guaranteeing idempotence. See
> [commit diff
> here|[https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/5d2422258cb975a137a42a4e08f03573c49a387e#diff-f4ef1afd8792cd2a2e9069cd7ddea630].]
> Subsequently when Flink tries to "recoverAndCommit" (see
> FlinkKafkaProducer011) it fails with a "NoSuchFieldException:
> sequenceNumbers", followed by a "Incompatible KafkaProducer version".
> Given that the KafkaProducer used is so old (this change was made almost two
> years ago) are there any plans of upgrading? Or - are there some known
> compatibility issues that prevent Flink/Kafka connector from doing so?
