> Let SourceConnector implementations access the offset reader

> Key: KAFKA-3813
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3813
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Randall Hauch
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> 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.
