With version 3.6.0, Kafka Connect will add native support for resetting the offsets of both sink and source connectors via the REST API as part of [KIP-875](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-875%3A+First-class+offsets+support+in+Kafka+Connect).
If you are running version 3.6.0 or later, first issue a PUT request to the `/connectors/{name}/stop` endpoint to stop (but not delete) the connector, then reset its offsets by issuing a DELETE request to the `/connectors/{name}/offsets` endpoint.
