I'm trying to set up a kafka consumer (in Java) that uses the new approach of committing offsets (i.e. in the __consumer_offsets topic etc, rather than through zookeeper).
Am I correct in believing that the current version (we're using kafka 8.2.1) does not expose this through the high level consumer yet? I am using kafka.consumer.Consumer.createJavaConsumerConnector to set up the consumer. I can play with the enabling/disabling of auto-commits, or use commitOffsets to commit manually, but that does not seem to lead to any entries in __consumer_offsets. Also, by following the code trail a bit, it does seem as if offset committing is still happening through Zookeeper. (One reason we'd like to use the new system is because we're interested in monitoring it through Burrow) Apologies if I missed something simple. Cheers! -Joris.
