ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-5368: --------------------------------------- Github user asfgit closed the pull request at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3036 > Let Kafka consumer show something when it fails to read one topic out of > topic list > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5368 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5368 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Kafka Connector > Reporter: Sendoh > Assignee: Sendoh > Priority: Critical > > As a developer when reading data from many topics, I want Kafka consumer to > show something if any topic is not available. The motivation is we read many > topics as list at one time, and sometimes we fail to recognize that one or > two topics' names have been changed or deprecated, and Flink Kafka connector > doesn't show the error. > My proposed change would be either to throw RuntimeException or to use > LOG.error(topic + "doesn't have any partition") if partitionsForTopic is null > at this function. > https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka-0.9/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/FlinkKafkaConsumer09.java#L208 > Any suggestion is welcome. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
