How Do I Change the Number of Kafka Partitions in a Flink SQL Job Without Stopping It?

Symptom

You used Flink 1.10 to run a Flink Opensource SQL job. You set the number of Kafka partitions for the job a small value at the beginning and need to increase the number now.

Solution

Add the following parameters to the SQL statement:

connector.properties.flink.partition-discovery.interval-millis="3000" 

This statement allows you to increase or decrease the number of Kafka partitions without stopping the Flink job.
