Greg Harris reopened KAFKA-5827: -------------------------------- > Allow configuring Kafka sink connectors to start processing records from the > end of topics > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-5827 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5827 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: KafkaConnect > Reporter: Behrang Saeedzadeh > Priority: Major > > As far as I can see, Kafka connectors start exporting data of a topic from > the beginning of its partitions. We have a topic that contains a few million > old records that we don't need but we would like to start exporting new > records that are added to the topic. > Basically: > * When the connector is started for the first time and it does not have a > current offset stored, it should start consuming data from the end of topic > partitions > * When the connector is restarted and has a current offset for partitions > stored somewhere, it should start from those offsets -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
