I'm updating the latest offset consumed to the zookeeper directory. Say for eg if my last consumed message has offset of 5 i update it in the path,but when i check zookeeper path it has 6 after sometimes.
Does any other process updates it ?. ________________________________________ From: Seshadri, Balaji Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 11:50 AM To: 'users@kafka.apache.org' Subject: RE: commitOffsets by partition 0.8-beta Thanks Jun. -----Original Message----- From: Jun Rao [mailto:jun...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 11:37 AM To: users@kafka.apache.org Subject: Re: commitOffsets by partition 0.8-beta We don't have the ability to commit offset at the partition level now. This feature probably won't be available until we are done with the consumer rewrite, which is 3-4 months away. If you want to do sth now and don't want to use SimpleConsumer, another hacky way is to turn off auto offset commit and write the offset to ZK in the right path yourself in the app. Thanks, Jun On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 10:02 AM, Seshadri, Balaji <balaji.sesha...@dish.com > wrote: > Hi, > > We have use case in DISH where we need to stop the consumer when we > have issues in proceeding further to database or another back end. > > We update offset manually for each consumed message.
