Martijn Visser updated FLINK-25106:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
The Flink Kafka connector allows you to specify the specific offsets for each 
partition per 
https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/docs/connectors/table/kafka/#scan-startup-specific-offsets,
 but this is currently not supported for the Upsert Kafka connector. 

We should add this capability also to the Upsert Kafka connector. 

  was:
Currently, FLINK's "kafka" connector ignores all the tombstone messages, 
whereas the "upsert-kafka" connector supports tombstone messages and sets the 
type of the row to RowKind.DELETE ([Code 
Link|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/table/DynamicKafkaDeserializationSchema.java#L126]).

The Flink Kafka connector allows you to specify the specific offsets for each 
partition 
https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/docs/connectors/table/kafka/#scan-startup-specific-offsets,
 but this is currently not supported for the Upsert Kafka connector. 

I think that the feature need is actually an extension on the upsert-kafka 
connector (to support specific offsets), because the key difference there is 
between the kafka connector and the upsert-kafka connector is how tombstones 
are dealt with currently.
