             Summary: Kafka consumers should not necessarily fail on expiring 
data
                 Key: FLINK-3386
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3386
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streaming Connectors
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Gyula Fora


Currently if the data in a kafka topic expires while reading from it, it causes 
an unrecoverable failure as subsequent retries will also fail on invalid 
offsets.

While this might be the desired behaviour under some circumstances, it would 
probably be better in most cases to automatically jump to the earliest valid 
offset in these cases.
