Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-4107:
--------------------------------------
This is definitely a good tool to have. There's a new Consumer Reset Tool in
Apache Kafka 0.11, but Kafka Connect source connector offsets are a different
beast. We'll need a KIP that explains the proposal for the new tool and how
it's used.

> 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.
