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. > Allow specifying specific offsets for each partition for Upsert Kafka > connector > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-25106 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25106 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: API / Core > Reporter: Varun Yeligar > Priority: Minor > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
