Took me some time to setup the Java test (using Java after more than a
decade!), but yes a similar pipeline with KafkaIO and Flink seems to work
fine.

Here's the relevant Java code. The only difference from the Python version
is that I had to extract the KV from the KafkaRecord object and construct a
PCollection<KV> explicitly before writing to the output topic.

  static final String BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS = "localhost:29092"; // Default

                  }
                }))
        .apply(

            KafkaIO.<String, String>write()
                .withBootstrapServers(options.getBootstrap())

.withKeySerializer(org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer.class)

.withValueSerializer(org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer.class));

    pipeline.run();
  }
}
~~~~~~~~~

I'm firing the Java version as follows:

$ mvn exec:java
-Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.beam.tutorial.analytic.KafkaTest -Pflink-runner
-Dexec.args="--runner=FlinkRunner"

And I can see in real time, that as I publish records to the in_topic, the
out_topic is able to receive them on a continuous basis.

I hope this helps narrow down the issue.

Thanks,
Sumeet
