Randall Hauch updated KAFKA-3821: --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 1.1.0 > Allow Kafka Connect source tasks to produce offset without writing to topics > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3821 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3821 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: KafkaConnect > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1 > Reporter: Randall Hauch > Labels: needs-kip > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > > Provide a way for a {{SourceTask}} implementation to record a new offset for > a given partition without necessarily writing a source record to a topic. > Consider a connector task that uses the same offset when producing an unknown > number of {{SourceRecord}} objects (e.g., it is taking a snapshot of a > database). Once the task completes those records, the connector wants to > update the offsets (e.g., the snapshot is complete) but has no more records > to be written to a topic. With this change, the task could simply supply an > updated offset. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
