sbourkeostk opened a new issue #9480: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/9480
**Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.** The kafka connector sets auto.offset.reset to "earliest". This means all old messages from kafka are produced to pulsar. Often is it desirable to start form the present location "latest". The option is set after the user config has been loaded so it cannot be changed: [source code link](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/master/pulsar-io/kafka/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/io/kafka/KafkaAbstractSource.java#L87) **Describe the solution you'd like** Make this an option of the kafka source config. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Setting the option in the consumerConfigProperties of the connector. This is not possible because the source sets the option after the user config has been loaded. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
