> Today we have a event-time based flow control mechanism in order to synchronize multiple input streams in a best effort manner:
> http://docs.confluent.io/2.1.0-alpha1/streams/architecture.html#flow-control-with-timestamps
> However, there are some use cases where users would like to have finer control of the input streams, for example, with two input streams, one of them always reading from offset 0 upon (re)-starting, and the other reading for log end offset.
> Today we only have one consumer config "offset.auto.reset" to control that behavior, which means all streams are read either from "earliest" or "latest".
> We should consider how to improve this settings to allow users have finer control over these frameworks.
