-------------------------------------
[~hachikuji], do you want to take a look at this one?
> 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.
