Seth Wiesman updated FLINK-17076:
---------------------------------
Description:
The Kafka connector is one of the most popular connectors in Flink. The
documentation has grown organically over the years as new versions and features
have become supported. The page is still based on the kafka 0.8 connector with
asides for newer versions. For instance, the first paragraph says "For most
users, the FlinkKafkaConsumer08 (part of flink-connector-kafka) is appropriate."
Since Kafka 1.0 was released in 2017, I believe the page should be restructured
around the universal connector and Kafka(De)SerializationSchema's with clear
examples.
