You can also do this: 1. stop consumers 2. export offsets from ZK 3. make changes to the exported file 4. import offsets to ZK 5. start consumers
e.g. bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ExportZkOffsets --group group-name --output-file /tmp/zk-offsets --zkconnect localhost:2181 bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ImportZkOffsets --input-file /tmp/zk-offsets --zkconnect localhost:2181 Marko Bonaći Monitoring | Alerting | Anomaly Detection | Centralized Log Management Solr & Elasticsearch Support Sematext <http://sematext.com/> | Contact <http://sematext.com/about/contact.html> On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 4:06 PM, Jens Rantil <jens.ran...@tink.se> wrote: > Hi, > > I noticed that a consumer in the new consumer API supports setting the > offset for a partition to beginning.
