* Follow the instructions from [Kafka's
quickstart](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart) to download
the code and launch a server (launching a Zookeeper and a Kafka server is
required every time before starting the application).
* If the Kafka and Zookeeper servers are running on a remote machine, then the
`advertised.host.name` setting in the `config/server.properties` file must be
set to the machine's IP address.
+## Modern Kafka Connector
+
+Starting with Flink 1.7, it will provide a new connector for the modern Kafka.
It is different from any previous Kafka connector, it does not bind a fixed
version of Kafka client, but it will track and support the latest version of
Kafka Client.
Review comment:
```suggestion
Starting with Flink 1.7, there is a new Kafka connector that does not track
a specific Kafka major version. Rather, it tracks the latest version of Kafka
at the time of the Flink release.
