             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.
