Hi Okada san,
Yes, I agree the "latest" setting in this situation is not good, and we
should document it.
But I don't think we should change the default auto.offset.reset setting to
the earliest.
The auto.offset.reset setting starts before kafka V1.0, which means, there
are already a lot of users using it and get used to it now.

Thanks.
Luke
