Thanks for the feedback!

@Onur, @Gwen:

Agree. Actually at the first draft I considered to have it inside
´kafka-consumer-groups.sh´, but I decide to propose it as a standalone tool
to describe it clearly and focus it on reset functionality.

But now that you mentioned, it does make sense to have it in
´kafka-consumer-groups.sh´. How would be a consistent way to introduce it?

Maybe something like this:

´kafka-consumer-groups.sh --reset-offset --generate --group cg1 --topics t1
--reset-from 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000 --output plan.json´

´kafka-consumer-groups.sh --reset-offset --verify --reset-json-file
plan.json´

´kafka-consumer-groups.sh --reset-offset --execute --reset-json-file
plan.json´

´kafka-consumer-groups.sh --reset-offset --generate-and-execute --group cg1
--topics t1 --reset-from 2017-01-01T00:00:00.000´

@Gwen:

> It looks exactly like the replica assignment tool

It was influenced by ;-) I use the generate-verify-execute process here to
make sure user will be aware of the result of this operation. At the
beginning we considered only add a couple of options to Consumer Group
Command:

--rewind-to-timestamp and --rewind-to-period

@Onur:

with method 2 by using group information from DescribeGroupsRequest.

This means that we need to have Consumer Group stopped before executing and
start a new consumer internally to do this? Therefore, we won't be able to
consider executing reset when ConsumerGroup is active? (trying to relate it
with @Dong 5th question)

@Dong:

> Should we allow user to use wildcard to reset offset of all groups for a
given topic as well?

I haven't thought about this scenario. Could be interesting. Following the
recommendation to add it into Consumer Group Command, in this case Group
argument will be optional if there are only 1 topic. I think for multiple
topic won't be that useful.

> Should we allow user to specify timestamp per topic partition in the json
file as well?

Don't think this could be a valid from the tool, but if Reset Plan is
generated, and user want to set the offset for a specific partition to
other offset (eventually based on another timestamp), and execute it, it
will be up to her/him.

> Should the script take some credential file to make sure that this
operation is authenticated given the potential impact of this operation?

Haven't tried to secure brokers yet, but the tool should support
authorization if it's enabled in the broker.

> Should we provide constant to reset committed offset to earliest/latest
offset of a partition, e.g. -1 indicates earliest offset and -2 indicates
latest offset.

I will go for something like ´--reset-to-earliest´ and ´--reset-to-latest´

> Should we allow dynamic change of the comitted offset when consumer are
running, such that consumer will seek to the newly committed offset and
start consuming from there?

Not sure about this. I will recommend to keep it simple and ask user to
stop consumers first. But I would considered it if the trade-offs are
clear.

@Matthias

Added :). And thanks a lot for your help to define this KIP!
