Chris Riccomini commented on KAFKA-4107:
----------------------------------------
Agreed. We've had this need as well, and have been resorting to renaming the
connector every time. It creates a ton of garbage in the commit topic, though.
> 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.
