Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?

• Proposed Change 3. breaks compatibility for tools that rely on the `–execute` parameter to run the reset operation.
• Other changes should not impact as defaults Defaults should make code that used using the class `StreamResetter.java` work as it used to.

If we are changing behavior how will we phase out the older behavior?

• Current option `–execute` will be marked as "goint-to. -be-deprecated" and replaced by `dry-run` parameter, until it gets replaced.

When will we remove the existing behavior?

• Next major release.

Rejected Alternatives

Current `kafka-streams-application-reset` as mentioned in the Motivation supports this functionality partially, but it will be deprecated.
