             Summary: FlinkKafkaProducer011 can not be migrated to 
FlinkKafkaProducer
                 Key: FLINK-11249
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11249
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Kafka Connector
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1, 1.7.0
            Reporter: Piotr Nowojski
             Fix For: 1.8.0


As reported by a user on the mailing list "How to migrate Kafka Producer ?" (on 
18th December 2018), {{FlinkKafkaProducer011}} can not be migrated to 
{{FlinkKafkaProducer}} and the same problem can occur in the future Kafka 
producer versions/refactorings.

The issue is that {{ListState<FlinkKafkaProducer.NextTransactionalIdHint> 
FlinkKafkaProducer#nextTransactionalIdHintState}} field is serialized using 
java serializers and this is causing problems/collisions on 
{{FlinkKafkaProducer011.NextTransactionalIdHint}}  vs
{{FlinkKafkaProducer.NextTransactionalIdHint}}.

To fix that we probably need to release new versions of those classes, that 
will rewrite/upgrade this state field to a new one, that doesn't relay on java 
serialization. After this, we could drop the support for the old field and that 
in turn will allow users to upgrade from 0.11 connector to the universal one.

One bright side is that technically speaking our {{FlinkKafkaProducer011}} has 
the same compatibility matrix as the universal one (it's also forward & 
backward compatible with the same Kafka versions), so for the time being users 
can stick to {{FlinkKafkaProducer011}}.
