Brought this up as some users are asking for this feature. E.g. to skip bad data produced from upstream.
For high level consumer, users can change table config to make consumer offset reset policy to latest then delete Kafka consumer group and bounce table/server to achieve this. For simple consumer, I don't see any easy way to handle this except for modifying segment metadata content in zookeeper. I feel we need to provide the tooling to operate on them. -- Xiang Fu
