apache/seatunnel · #10987 · Merged Jul 25, 2026
Fixed SeaTunnel MySQL CDC checkpoint restore behavior for timestamp startup mode so restored jobs resume from the saved binlog position.
For startup.mode = timestamp, SeaTunnel could recompute the original configured timestamp after a checkpoint restore instead of honoring the concrete binlog file and position already persisted by the reader. In long-running jobs, that could move recovery back to an old timestamp anchor and fail when older binlogs were purged or corrupted.
Added a timestamp-only offset guard, reused restored binlog offsets directly during startup offset resolution, skipped the timestamp filter for restored concrete offsets, and pinned the behavior with focused MySQL CDC unit tests.
