Hang Ruan commented on FLINK-24051: ----------------------------------- [~arvid], the implement now cannot provide a meaningful groupId for users to understand, just like "KafkaSource-123456". Maybe we should consider to use another way to generate the meaningful groupId. > Make consumer.group-id optional for KafkaSource > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-24051 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24051 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Connectors / Kafka > Affects Versions: 1.14.0, 1.12.5, 1.13.2 > Reporter: Fabian Paul > Assignee: Fabian Paul > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 1.14.0, 1.12.6, 1.13.3 > > > For most of the users it is not necessary to generate a group-id and the > source itself can provide a meaningful group-id during startup. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
