[GitHub] [kafka] ryannedolan commented on pull request #8740: KIP-318: Make Kafka Connect Source idempotent

   This is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't really make source connectors idempotent unless we also fix the offset storage mechanism. If a task restarts for whatever reason (e.g. rebalance) it will resume at the last stored offsets and happily re-send any subsequent records.
   
   This _might_ be good to merge in order to increase throughput, but I'd like to see a benchmark to prove that's the case. If it doesn't significantly improve performance than I'd suggest it doesn't make sense to merge this, cuz it will tend to mislead people.
