Behrang Saeedzadeh updated KAFKA-5827: -------------------------------------- Description: As far as I can see, Kafka connectors start exporting data of a topic from the beginning of its partitions. We have a topic that contains a few million old records that we don't need but we would like to start exporting new records that are added to the topic. Basically: * When the connector is started for the first time and it does not have a current offset stored, it should start consuming data from the end of topic partitions * When the connector is restarted and has a current offset for partitions stored somewhere, it should start from those offsets was: As far as I can see, Kafka connectors start exporting data of a topic from its beginning.
