--------------------------------
Looks like the issue is still there, created another ticket [FLINK-27962]
KafkaSourceReader fails to commit consumer offsets for checkpoints - ASF JIRA
(apache.org)
> Option to let fail if KafkaSource keeps failing to commit offset
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-25293
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25293
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kafka
> Affects Versions: 1.14.0
> Environment: Flink 1.14.0
> Reporter: rerorero
> Priority: Major
>
> Is it possible to let KafkaSource fail if it keeps failing to commit offset?
>
> I faced an issue where KafkaSource keeps failing and never recover, while
> it's logging like these logs:
> {code:java}

> This is happening not just once, but a couple of times a week (it happens
> when the Kafka broker performs rolling restart). It can be recovered by
> restarting the Flink Job.
> I found other people reporting the similar thing:
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/8l4f2yb4qwysdn1cj1wjk99tfb79kgs2]. This
> could possibly be a problem with the Kafka client, and of course, the problem
> should be fixed on Kafka side if so.
> However, Flink Kafka connector doesn't provide an automatic way to save this
> situation. KafkaSource keeps retrying forever when a retriable error occurs,
> even if it is not retriable actually:
> [https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/afb29d92c4e76ec6a453459c3d8a08304efec549/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/connector/kafka/source/reader/KafkaSourceReader.java#L144-L148]
> Since it sends metrics of the number of times a commit fails, it could be
> automated by monitoring it and restarting the job, but that would mean we
> need to have a new process to be managed.
> Does it make sense to have KafkaSource have the option like, let the source
> task fail if it keeps failing to commit an offset more than X times?
