Class KafkaConsumerThread<T>

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Thread
org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internals.KafkaConsumerThread<T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable

@Internal @Deprecated public class KafkaConsumerThread<T> extends Thread
Deprecated.
The thread the runs the KafkaConsumer, connecting to the brokers and polling records. The thread pushes the data into a Handover to be picked up by the fetcher that will deserialize and emit the records.

IMPORTANT: This thread must not be interrupted when attempting to shut it down. The Kafka consumer code was found to not always handle interrupts well, and to even deadlock in certain situations.

Implementation Note: This code is written to be reusable in later versions of the KafkaConsumer. Because Kafka is not maintaining binary compatibility, we use a "call bridge" as an indirection to the KafkaConsumer calls that change signature.
