-------------------------------------

             Summary: Vague document about Kafka config in SQL-CLI
                 Key: FLINK-17908
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17908
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation, Table SQL / API
    Affects Versions: 1.11.0
            Reporter: Shengkai Fang
             Fix For: 1.11.0


Currentl Flink doesn't offer any default config value for Kafka and use the deault config from Kafka. However, it uses the different config value when describe how to use Kafka Connector in sql-client. Document of the connector use value 'ealiest-offset' for 'connector.startup-mode', which is different from Kafka's default behaviour. I think this vague document may mislead users, especially for newbies.
