Alla Tumarkin commented on KAFKA-4107:
--------------------------------------
Additional feedback from a user:
"What we are looking for is the ability to have Kafka Connect write to time
based indices and keep track of the offset. For example, if kafka connect
bounces, we don't want it to rewrite data but just start from the last offset."
> Support offset reset capability in Kafka Connect

> It would be useful in some cases to be able to reset connector offsets. For
> example, if a topic in Kafka corresponding to a source database is
> accidentally deleted (or deleted because of corrupt data), an administrator
> may want to reset offsets and reproduce the log from the beginning. It may
> also be useful to have support for overriding offsets, but that seems like a
> less likely use case.
