Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1039#issuecomment-133483983 Concerning the `FlinkKafkaConsumer081` and `FlinkKafkaConsumer082` - lets keep them exactly to fix bugs underneath the hood. I would actually move all this from the `flink-connector-kafka-083`to the other kafka connector project and replace the old `PersistentKafkaSource`. In a sepaate patch, we should we add some convenience constructors, where one can directly pass the list of brokers, rather than a properties object.
