Description

KafkaConsumerTestBase#runBrokerFailureTest is actually validating the functionality of Kafka broker and consumer (change partition leader when the ex-leader is down and let consumer switch to the new one without exception) instead of KafkaSource / FlinkKafkaConsumer, so we could consider removing this case.
