Hi - Recently Mr. Kreps was kind enough to answer a bunch of questions from some of us here at Jive software. One subject that particularly caught our interest was the new java client, which sounds like it will super useful.
We have some client code which sits on top of SimpleConsumer which we use for cases where we want to manage our own offsets, but also for cases where we don't care about persistent offsets at all, and just want to consume from the tip of a given partition at the point in time when the consuming process spins up. I've attached the source in case it might be useful to see what we are doing. Thank you, and I hope it's helpful. -pete
