Xingcan Cui commented on FLINK-8118:
------------------------------------
Hi [~twalthr], thanks for raising this. I got two questions about this issue.
# Shall we integrate the methods into the {{KafkaTableSource.Builder}} or
directly into the {{KafkaTableSource}}? Personally, I prefer the later one
since it will be more flexible, while that seems to break the design pattern to
some extent.
# Since the {{startupMode}} in {{FlinkKafkaConsumerBase}} is invisible from
outer classes, do you have some suggestions on testing this?
Thanks, Xingcan
