---------------------------------------
There're some limits when we support multi source topics in
kafkaTableSourceSinkFactoryBase. It's like :
When we assign the startup mode as specific-offsets, it's difficult to assign
the start-offset for each topic partition because of the way to set the
connector configs. As the following codes show, when we assign several topics
like MyTable, MyTable1,MyTable2 , it's difficult to distinguish the partition
and offset belong to wich topic.
{code:java}
final Map<String, String> props2 = new HashMap<>();
props2.put("connector.property-version", "1");
props2.put("connector.type", "kafka");
props2.put("connector.version", "0.11");
props2.put("connector.topic", "MyTable");
props2.put("connector.startup-mode", "specific-offsets");
props2.put("connector.specific-offsets.0.partition", "0");
props2.put("connector.specific-offsets.0.offset", "42");
props2.put("connector.specific-offsets.1.partition", "1");
{code}
But fortunately， setting a fixed topic-partition start offset when we start an
app with table API is rare. For now, i suggest ignoring this situation. My
solution is supporting multi-topic for other kind of start-up mode like
GROUP_OFFSETS, EARLIEST,LATEST, for SPECIFIC_OFFSETS mode when using Table
API like kafkaTableSourceSinkFactoryBase with several topics we use the
GROUP_OFFSETS instead.
