Each topic has: earliest and latest offsets (per partition) Each consumer group has a current offset (per topic, partition pair)
I see -1 for the current offsets new consumer groups that haven't yet committed an offset. I think it means that the offsets for that consumer group are undefined. Is it possible you generated new consumer groups when you restarted your broker?
