I like this idea.

If my understanding correctly, we provide predefined Kafka `keyed and avoid 
repartition` source/sink pair; users are responsible to create Kafka topic and 
connect the source to the sink through DataStream API.

Is this solution general/feasible for SQL as well?

> This Source/Sink pair would serve two purposes:
> 1. You can read topics that are already partitioned by key and process them 
> without partitioning them again (avoid shuffles)
> 2. You can use this to shuffle through Kafka, thereby decomposing the job 
> into smaller jobs and independent pipelined regions that fail over 
> independently.
