Description
- A feature that restores the offsets transferred by MirrorMaker2 to the consumer group on the target cluster
- At this time, we provide a mechanism to transfer offset by MirrorMaker2, however, we do not provide any functionality or documentation to restore the offsets from it.
- To restore it, the users need to create a Java program that includes RemoteClusterUtils.translateOffsets(), however, it is not easy to create and operate it.
- we are providing a sample source code for creating a Java program as our knowledge: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5252171
- FYI, in the case of Cloudera product, it provides a command to extract the offsets: https://docs.cloudera.com/srm/1.0.0/using/topics/srm-control-offsets.html
- I don't have a concrete picture of how, but I think we can use annotations to support data transfer rather than providing some kind of command like Cloudera does. And maybe this is a feature that should be provided by Kafka project itself (not Strimzi).
