Jark Wu commented on FLINK-16125:
---------------------------------
Thanks [~becket_qin], if {{zookeeper.connect}} is only required for 0.8, and we
only support 0.10+ since 1.11. Maybe we can make it optional? Or do you think
we should fix it to 1.10 too?
> Make zookeeper.connect optional for Kafka connectors

> Key: FLINK-16125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16125
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Jiangjie Qin
> Priority: Major
>
> FLINK-14649 accidentally changed the connector option {{zookeeper.connect}}
> from optional to required for all the Kafka connector versions, while it is
> only required for 0.8.
> The fix would be make it optional again. This does mean that people who are
> using Kafka 0.8 might miss this option and get an error from Kafka code
> instead of Flink code, but given that Kafka 0.8 probably has a small user
> base now and users will still get an error. I think it is fine.
