Chris, This (understandably) requires access to the log segment files on disk. Managed Kafka services are becoming more popular (Confluent Cloud, Amazon MSK) and they do not expose the log segment files on disk. It’d be great to have an equivalent functionality that would work on managed services.
But, that would be a completely different implementation, so maybe it’s not something you want to handle right now. -James Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 27, 2020, at 10:14 AM, Christopher Beard <cbea...@bloomberg.net> wrote: > > Bump.
