Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Often we run into situations when we try to replicate a user's environment and data, and we end up using mock data that we create which is similar-ish to what the user is seeing. This isn't always sufficient to help us get to the root cause of an issue - it would be great if we could have a way to reliably "load" a topic into ksqlDB from a topic that isn't in the same kafka cluster (and can be sent over public internet, such as a file)
Describe the solution you'd like
It'd be cool if we could take a topic and dump it in standard SQL format (e.g. using INSERT INTO ... VALUES). That way, we could take the file and just run it as a script into ksqlDB and set up the data with exactly the correct timestamps, keys and values (though perhaps not offsets) agnostic to any format (e.g. AVRO/JSON/PROTOBUF).
Describe alternatives you've considered
If such a tool exists, I'd love to hear about it!
