> Make zookeeper.connect optional for Kafka connectors
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-16125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16125
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Jiangjie Qin
> Assignee: Qingsheng Ren
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.10.1, 1.11.0
>
>
> FLINK-14649 accidentally changed the connector option {{zookeeper.connect}}
> from optional to required for all the Kafka connector versions, while it is
> only required for 0.8.
> The fix would be make it optional again. This does mean that people who are
> using Kafka 0.8 might miss this option and get an error from Kafka code
> instead of Flink code, but given that Kafka 0.8 probably has a small user
> base now and users will still get an error. I think it is fine.
