ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-7739: --------------------------------------- Github user pnowojski commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4749 Users shouldn't be able to call `shutdown()` and if they are, they shouldn't be using it (it would be incorrect). `shutdown()` was a protected method and shouldn't be used the users. Unfortunately in many places in `flink-tests` it was used instead of public `stop()`, because protected methods are visible inside the same package and it was really confusing which one should be used. Ideally it would be great to have another visibility level like "only visible to the children", but there is no such thing :/ Thus I renamed `shutdown()` to make clear distinction from public `stop()`. > Improve Kafka*ITCase tests stability > ------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-7739 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7739 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Kafka Connector > Affects Versions: 1.3.2 > Reporter: Piotr Nowojski > Assignee: Piotr Nowojski > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
