--------------------------------------
Summary: Extend Kafka consumers with interface StoppableFunction
Key: FLINK-3404
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3404
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Kafka Connector
Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
Kafka consumers are not stoppable right now. To make them stoppable, they must
implement {{StoppableFunction}}. Implementing method {{stop()}} must ensure,
that the consumer stops pulling new messages from Kafka and issues a final
checkpoint with the last offset. Afterwards, {{run()}} must return.
When implementing this, keep in mind, that the gathered checkpoint might later
be used as a savepoint.
