Stelios BOURAZANIS commented on KAFKA-4107:
-------------------------------------------
Talking about that Connect reads offsets when connectors starts, I noticed that
although *Connect REST API* exposes connectors' restart, pause, resume
functions, there is no *stop/start *functionality ( in order to force the
connector to read the offset ).
Does this mean that we have to stop the disttributed workers and start them
again for the connectros read their offsets ?
We have been using the delete/create connectors again to achive this, but we
are not happy about that design.

> 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.
