Michal Harish updated FLINK-4023:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently, Flink queries Kafka for partition information when creating the 
Kafka consumer. This is done on the client when submitting the Flink job, which 
requires the client to be able to fetch the partition data from Kafka which may 
only be accessible from the cluster environment where the tasks will be 
running. Moving the partition discovery to the open() method should solve this 
problem.
