> Thanks @Efrat19. I think we should leave these combinations allowed. `scan.startup.mode` selects the initial position, while `auto.offset.reset` controls the fallback when an initialized position becomes unavailable. Since they are independent options, different values can be intentional. > > We could add validation later if these combinations prove confusing, but I would prefer to start without restricting valid Kafka configurations. I added a short documentation clarification that the two options control different phases and may intentionally use different values. Outside broker corruption its hard to imagine a case where you want this values to be independent. For years the value was inferred from the offsetInitializer. I'd still log a warning, at least to signal that this isn't optimal. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
