> KafkaIO bounded source

> Key: BEAM-2185

> Issue Type: New Feature

> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Priority: P3
>
> KafkaIO could be a useful source for batch applications as well. It could
> implement a bounded source. The primary question is how the bounds are
> specified.
> One option : Source specifies a time period (say 9am-10am), and KafkaIO
> fetches appropriate start and end offsets based on time-index in Kafka. This
> would suite many batch applications that are launched on a scheduled.
> Another option is to always read till the end and commit the offsets to
> Kafka. Handling failures and multiple runs of a task might be complicated.
