Like how we are handling unassigned new partitions via the `unassignedPartitionsQueue`. The fact that this is a set means that we will need to eventually remove entries from it anyways. > Unassign partitions from Kafka client if partitions become unavailable > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-9303 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9303 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Kafka Connector > Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.6.0 > > > Originally reported in ML: > [http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Dynamically-deleting-kafka-topics-does-not-remove-partitions-from-kafkaConsumer-td19946.html] > The problem is that the Kafka consumer has no notion of "closed" partitions > at the moment, so statically assigned partitions to the Kafka client is never > removed and is always continuously requested for records. > This causes LOG noises as reported in the reported mail thread. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
