huxihx updated KAFKA-9322: -------------------------- Description: When debugging, it will be convenient to quickly check the last N messages for a partition using ConsoleConsumer. Currently `offset` could not be negative. However, we could simply break this rule to support `tail -n` feature. A tricky thing is currently we treat -1 and -2 as special values, so I am not sure if a new KIP is needed.
