As far as I know "auto.offset.reset" what to do if offset it not available or out of bound?

Properties props = new Properties(); // start from largest offset - DEFAULT props.setProperty("auto.offset.reset", "largest"); // start from smallest offset props.setProperty("auto.offset.reset", "smallest"); I don't think it is possible to start from a specific offset. The offset is only unique per partition. You could modify the offsets in the Zookeeper state but you really have to know what you're doing then.
