title: Restart kafka connect sink and source connectors to read from beginning
body: <p>I have searched quite a lot on this but there doesn't seems to be a good guide around this.</p>
  
  <p>From what I have searched there are a few things to consider:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Resetting Sink Connector internal topics (status, config and offset).</li>
  <li>Source Connector offsets implementation is implementation specific. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Question: Is there even a need to reset these topics?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Deleting the consumer group.</li>
  <li>Restarting the connector with a different name (this is also an option) but it doesn't seems to be the right thing to do.</li>
  <li>Resetting consumer group to <code>--reset-offsets</code> to <code>--to-earliest</code></li>
  <li>Using the REST API (Does the it provides the functionality to reset and read from beginning)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What would be the best way to restart both a sink and a source connector to read from beginning?</p>
