Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai commented on FLINK-26409:
---------------------------------------------
Perhaps the only value that test gives us is "tests as proof/documentation"
that the Kafka Source connector can continue to run as is in case of broker
failures in a multi-broker setup. However, this does seem to be completely
irrelevant to the connector code.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Reporter: Qingsheng Ren
> Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
> Priority: Major
>
> {{KafkaConsumerTestBase#runBrokerFailureTest}} is actually validating the
> functionality of Kafka broker and consumer (change partition leader when the
> ex-leader is down and let consumer switch to the new one without exception)
> instead of KafkaSource / FlinkKafkaConsumer, so we could consider removing
> this case.
