Robert Metzger created FLINK-1935: ------------------------------------- Summary: Reimplement PersistentKafkaSource using high level Kafka API Key: FLINK-1935 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1935 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Kafka Connector, Streaming Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Robert Metzger Assignee: Robert Metzger Fix For: 0.9
The current PersistentKafkaSource in Flink has some limitations that I seek to overcome by reimplementing it using Kafka's high level API (and manually committing the offsets to ZK). This approach only works when the offsets are committed to ZK directly. The current PersistentKafkaSource does not integrate with existing Kafka tools (for example for monitoring the "lag"). All the communication with Zookeeper is implemented manually in our current code. This is prone to errors and inefficiencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
