Hai Zhou commented on FLINK-3542: --------------------------------- [~till.rohrmann] In flink 1.3.x, FlinkKafkaConsumer08 also have this problem ? > FlinkKafkaConsumer09 cannot handle changing number of partitions > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3542 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3542 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Kafka Connector > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Priority: Minor > > The current {{FlinkKafkaConsumer09}} cannot handle increasing the number of > partitions of a topic while running. The consumer will simply leave the newly > created partitions out and thus miss all data which is written to the new > partitions. The reason seems to be a static assignment of partitions to > consumer tasks when the job is started. > We should either fix this behaviour or clearly document it in the online and > code docs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
