--------------------------------------------
Solving this together with FLINK-4022.
> Move Kafka consumer partition discovery from constructor to open()
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-4023
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4023
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Reporter: Michal Harish
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: kafka, kafka-0.8
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
>
> 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.
