Martin Liesenberg commented on FLINK-3404:
------------------------------------------
I have been looking at this task recently and just want to make sure I
understand it correctly: there are a {{close}} and a {{cancel}} method already.
the difference of the {{stop}} method would be the issuing of the checkpoint,
right?
> Extend Kafka consumers with interface StoppableFunction

> 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.
