I understand that argument, and I would be strongly against adding examples
for each connector.
The pull request is moving the example away from the Kafka project into the
main Flink examples.
The reasons why I wanted to have Kafka in the main examples:
- Almost all Flink users I know are using Kafka, so its important to place
the example prominently.
- Its very handy to deploy a Kafka example with the binary distribution to
quickly test if flink is properly working on a cluster with Kafka (instead of
building a separate project somewhere)
> Add example for reading and writing to Kafka
