When I tried Producing data to external Kafka using Cloudflow and Flink, It is not working and neither it is throwing Issues in the logs.  
Strange thing I am observing is (i.e. when I try producing the data, My data consumption from external Kafka which is written in separate streamlet is also failing. Or otherwise it works fine.)
