-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I would put this differently: "auto.offset.reset" policy is only used, if there are no valid committed offsets for a topic.
See here: http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/apache-kafka/5449/consumer-groups - -and-offset-management (don't be confused about "earliest/latest" and "smallest/larges" -- the former is for Kafka 0.8.2 and the later for 0.9+ -- but the mechanism is the same) But I though, Flink does not rely on consumer offsets commits but does "manual" offset management? So I am wondering, if this property is passed into the Kafka source operator's Kafka consumer or not? - -Matthias On 11/17/15 2:30 AM, Robert Metzger wrote: > Hi Will, > > In Kafka's consumer configuration [1] there is a configuration > parameter called "auto.offset.reset".
