Summary: Make KafkaConsumer more resilient to Kafka Broker Failures Key: FLINK-11792 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11792 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Connectors / Kafka Affects Versions: 1.7.2 Reporter: Konstantin Knauf When consuming from a topic with replication factor > 1, the FlinkKafkaConsumer could continue reading from this topic, when a single broker fails, by "simply" switching to the new leader `s for all lost partitions after Kafka failover. Currently, the KafkaConsumer will most likely throw in exception as topic metadata is only periodically fetched from the Kafka cluster. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
