Description

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.
