What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Currently, the driver side of the Kafka source (i.e. KafkaMicroBatchReader) eagerly creates a consumer as soon as the Kafk aMicroBatchReader is created. However, we create dummy KafkaMicroBatchReader to get the schema and immediately stop it. Its better to make the consumer creation lazy, it will be created on the first attempt to fetch offsets using the KafkaOffsetReader.
