Hi , I have query regarding partition offset .
While running kafka cluster for some time ,I noticed that the partition offset keeps on increasing and at some point the offset decreased by some number . In what scenarios does the offset of a topic partition reduces ? The problem I am facing is that my consumers are pulling the msgs from the topic but at somepoint in time it throws exception that the current offset is greater that the latest offset of the partition . Is it because of retension the latest offset gets reset ? How can I handle this scenarios Regards, Liju John S/W developer
