[GitHub] flink issue #5929: [FLINK-8497] [connectors] KafkaConsumer throws NPE if top...

Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue:

    I am not sure if failing is the right behavior here.
    
    What is someone has a Flink job running and one of the topics for which partitions are discovered gets deleted? That would fail the job in such a way that it never recovers, even if other partitions are still valid.
