Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3746 Hi @haohui, I revisited this, but I think there is no easy workaround for this, unfortunately. This can only be properly merged in 1.4 after some additional requirements are added to Flink. However, if you know that during Flink 1.2 your FlinkKafkaConsumer was not rescaled before, then in that case specifically you should be able to use this patch. It would however require a custom build of the connector on your side.
