Renjie Liu created FLINK-5445: --------------------------------- Summary: flink kafka consumer should support rate control Key: FLINK-5445 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5445 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Kafka Connector Affects Versions: 1.1.3 Reporter: Renjie Liu Priority: Critical
Now kafka connector does not support rate control at all, this may lead checkpoints to fail and expire if downstream processor is slow. Though this will not compromise the guarantee of flink's checkpoint, this will stop kafka consumer from comitting offsets since kafka consumer commits offsets in the callback of checkpoint complete. The committed offsets is important for monitoring purpose. So I think we need to support rate limit control in kafka consumer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
