Lakshmi Rao created FLINK-11501: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add a ratelimiting feature to the FlinkKafkaConsumer Key: FLINK-11501 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11501 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Kafka Connector Reporter: Lakshmi Rao Assignee: Lakshmi Rao
There are instances when a Flink job that reads from Kafka can read at a significantly high throughput (particularly while processing a backlog) and degrade the underlying Kafka cluster. While Kafka quotas are perhaps the best way to enforce this ratelimiting, there are cases where such a setup is not available or easily enabled. The approach is essentially to use Guava's rate limiter to ratelimit the bytes read from Kafka.
