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

> Right now the Kafka TableSources can only read from the current group offset. We should expose the possibilities of the Kafka Consumer:
