------------------------------------

             Summary: Let SourceConnector implementations access the offset reader
                 Key: KAFKA-3813
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3813
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
            Reporter: Randall Hauch
            Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava


When a source connector is started, having access to the {{OffsetStorageReader}} would allow it to more intelligently configure its tasks based upon the stored offsets. (Currently only the {{SourceTask}} implementations can access the offset reader (via the {{SourceTaskContext}}), but the {{SourceConnector}} does not have access to the offset reader.)

Of course, accessing the stored offsets is not likely to be useful for sink connectors.
