ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-5327: --------------------------------------- Github user asfgit closed the pull request at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/3148 > Console Consumer should only poll for up to max messages > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-5327 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5327 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tools > Reporter: Dustin Cote > Assignee: huxi > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.11.0.0 > > > The ConsoleConsumer has a --max-messages flag that can be used to limit the > number of messages consumed. However, the number of records actually consumed > is governed by max.poll.records. This means you see one message on the > console, but your offset has moved forward a default of 500, which is kind of > counterintuitive. It would be good to only commit offsets for messages we > have printed to the console. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
