title: Spring Cloud Stream Binder Kafka broker is not available
body: <p>I have a Spring Config Server application which is working with Kafka in dev environment but in local environment I keep getting:</p>
  <pre><code>{host} could not be established. Broker may not be available.
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is there any way to start the application in local environment even if the broker is not available and not get the warning logs?</p>
  <p>The desired behaviour: If broker is not available, application should not have explicit warnings and should continue working.</p>
  <p>I have tried to set <code>fatalIfBrokerNotAvailable</code> to false and <code>missingTopicsFatal</code> to false but it does not have any effect.</p>
