Simple Consumer is *not processing* messages when it's offset in kafka.api.OffsetRequest.*LatestTime()* .
If i use *EarlierTime() *offset method it is processing from start, which is as expected. But when I try for *LatestTime()* offset, no reaction from simple consumer and I am referring below simpleconsumer example: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example Regards, Rafeeq S *(“What you do is what matters, not what you think or say or plan.” )*
