------------------------------------------
Exactly. I want an offset of a last true record in a partition.
> Add method for getting last record offset in kafka partition
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-10009
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10009
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: clients, consumer
> Reporter: Yuriy Badalyantc
> Priority: Minor
>
> As far as I understand, at the current moment, there is no reliable way for
> getting offset of the last record in the partition using java client. There
> is {{endOffsets}} method in the consumer. And usually {{endOffsets - 1}}
> works fine. But in the case of transactional producer, topic may contain
> offsets without a record. And {{endOffsets - 1}} will point to the offset
> without record.
> This feature will help in situations when consumer application wants to
> consume the whole topic. Checking of beginning and last record offset will
> give lower and upper bounds for consuming. Of course, it is doable with the
> current consumer implementation, but I need to check {{position}} after each
> poll.
> Also, I believe that this feature may help with monitoring and operations.
