[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-3821) Allow Kafka Connect source tasks to
produce offset without writing to topics
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3821?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16257642#comment-16257642 ]

---------------------------------------
Hi [~rhauch], seeing that this one is assigned for 1.1.0. Have you created a KIP for it already, or plans to do so soon? I like the idea of the dedicated {{OffsetRecord}}.

> Provide a way for a {{SourceTask}} implementation to record a new offset for a given partition without necessarily writing a source record to a topic.
> Consider a connector task that uses the same offset when producing an unknown number of {{SourceRecord}} objects (e.g., it is taking a snapshot of a database). Once the task completes those records, the connector wants to update the offsets (e.g., the snapshot is complete) but has no more records to be written to a topic. With this change, the task could simply supply an updated offset.
