This API is exposed through the SimpleConsumer scala class. See
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/consumer/SimpleConsumer.scala#L60
You will need to set earliestOrLatest to -1 for the latest offset.
There is also a command line tool

I'm still a bit lost. Where is the offsets API? I.e. which class?

Using the Offsets API, you can get the latest offset by setting time to
-1. Then you subtract 10000
There is no guarantee that 10k prior messages exist of course, so you'd
need to handle that case.

Hi,
I'm using Kafka 0.8. I would like to setup a consumer to fetch the last
10,000 messages and then start consuming messages.
I see the configuration autooffset.reset, but that isn't quite what I
want. I want only the last 10,000 messages.
Is there a good way to achieve this in 0.8, besides just hacking the data
in ZK?
Thanks,
Jim
