Hello, I've been trying to configure the offset start position for a flink kafka consumer. when there is no committed offset, to always start at the beginning. It seems like the typical way to do this would be setting auto.offset.reset=earliest however, I don't see that configuration property in the documentation. https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/dev/table/connectors/kafka.html
However, I do see scan.startup.mode = earliest-offset, but from the docs it sounds like this would mean it would never commit an offset and flink would always start consuming from the beginning of the kafka stream, which is not what I want. Is this the case or am I misunderstanding? How can I get the behavior that I wish to see, where committed offsets are respected, but no offset means start at the beginning of the kafka log stream?
