JIRA: Unable to render Jira issues macro, execution error.

Motivation

• user has to specify input topic name in the stream reset tool in order to purge its offsets

• Adding a new option which could automatically detect all external topics and reset their corresponding offsets

Public Interfaces

• A new resetAllExternalTopicsOption will be added for user to cleanup all externally committed offsets
• `--input-topic` flag using regular expressions

public class StreamsResetter {
    private static OptionSpecBuilder resetAllExternalTopicsOption;

    private void parseArguments(final String[] args) {
        ...
        resetAllExternalTopicsOption = optionParser.accepts("reset-all-external-topics", "Reset tool such that when enabled, delete offsets for all involved topics");
    }
}

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• Because it is an option addition Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan are not a problem
