Hello I am running a kafka 0.8 consumer with the following configuration : -
fetch.size=1000000000 zookeeper.session.timeout.ms=60000 auto.offset.reset=smallest zookeeper.sync.time.ms=200 auto.commit.enable=false i am doing manual increment of the offsets. while doing so, i am facing a problem as when i clear all the kafka & zookeeper logs, and start the consumer, the consumer sometimes shows inconsistent behaviour, sometimes it starts consuming, sometimes it doesn't. if it doesn't then i kill the consumer and restart it again, only then the consumption starts. i am quite confused with the consumer behaviour. could somebody please help me out as to how and where am i going wrong ? Thanks & Regards Tarang Dawer
