---------------------------------------
This would help indeed, linked my related idea.
> Add option to reset consumer offset by relative time
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-8825
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8825
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jason Gustafson
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> When the consumer first initializes its position or when it encounters an
> offset out of range error, we have two automatic reset policies: earliest and
> latest. With longer retention times, the earliest reset option is often too
> expensive and the latest reset requires more time to build recent context.
> Users can also set an auto reset policy of "none" and handle it themselves,
> but it may be useful to have a configurable option between earliest and
> latest. So a user can reset to one day ago or one hour ago for example. Would
> this be useful?
