Jiangjie Qin commented on FLINK-10806: -------------------------------------- Hi [~Wosinsan], I think the functionality requested in this ticket can already be achieved via {{OffsetsInitializer}} in the new KafkaSource. So we may not need this ticket any more. > Support multiple consuming offsets when discovering a new topic > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-10806 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10806 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Connectors / Kafka > Affects Versions: 1.6.2, 1.8.1 > Reporter: Jiayi Liao > Assignee: Jiayi Liao > Priority: Major > > In KafkaConsumerBase, we discover the TopicPartitions and compare them with > the restoredState. It's reasonable when a topic's partitions scaled. However, > if we add a new topic which has too much data and restore the Flink program, > the data of the new topic will be consumed from the start, which may not be > what we want. I think this should be an option for developers. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
