Denis Savenko commented on KAFKA-4107:
--------------------------------------
Yes, this indeed should be implemented as Kafka Connect REST API extension,
rather than a separate CLI tool (or at least additionally to it).
Otherwise, it would look really weird that usually REST API is used for Kafka
Connect management, but only connectors offsets are manipulated with some CLI
utility.

> 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.
