Is there any way to tweak consumer configurations in Kafka Connect?

Question

I'm modifying memsql Kafka Connector code and it seems Kafka connect does not use Kafka consumer subscribe API so I'm wondering if there is any way to change configurations of consumer such as group id, partition assignment strategy,...?

Answer 1

It's possible to override consumer's configuration at the worker level:

consumer.auto.offset.reset=latest

or at the connector level:

"consumer.override.auto.offset.reset": "latest"
