Will Funnell created KAFKA-2500: ----------------------------------- Summary: Make logEndOffset available in the 0.8.3 Consumer Key: KAFKA-2500 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2500 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: consumer Affects Versions: 0.8.3 Reporter: Will Funnell Assignee: Neha Narkhede Priority: Critical Fix For: 0.8.3
Originally created in the old consumer here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1977 The requirement is to create a snapshot from the Kafka topic but NOT do continual reads after that point. For example you might be creating a backup of the data to a file. This ticket covers the addition of the functionality to the new consumer. In order to achieve that, a recommended solution by Joel Koshy and Jay Kreps was to expose the high watermark, as maxEndOffset, from the FetchResponse object through to each MessageAndMetadata object in order to be aware when the consumer has reached the end of each partition. The submitted patch achieves this by adding the maxEndOffset to the PartitionTopicInfo, which is updated when a new message arrives in the ConsumerFetcherThread and then exposed in MessageAndMetadata.
