Well, I’ve already builded the Kafka 0.10 connector from the master, but unfortunately I keep getting the error of the type checker that the type of the FlinkKafkaConsumer10 and the one required by StreamExecutionEnvironment are not compatible - that is, addSource requires a subclass of the SourceFunction<T>, whereas the instance of the FlinkKafkaConsumer10 class is of type FlinkKafkaConsumer10<T>. Which I find quite strange because I would assume that the FlinkKafkaConsumer instance should be of type SourceFunction. However, the same even happened while building the FlinkKafkaConsumer09. Any hint what might be going on? I’ve build the jar distribution as a clean maven package (without running the tests).
