Stelios BOURAZANIS commented on KAFKA-4107:
-------------------------------------------
Yes it satisfy my requirements.
Right now in order to satisfy the reset requirement:
1. I Pause the connector
2. I use a producer to produce the "reset" message on the connect-offset topic
using a table key that sends it to the right partition.
3. Delete the connector
4. Create the connector again.
This is not optimal as all tasks reading from other tables also stop.
But I cannot not do better at the moment.
Only on create connector reads the external produced message.
*So it is crucial that the new tool makes the offset reset on the fly.*

> 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.
