When using kafka-0.8.2.0, Some questions happaned to me. I created one topic called `test` with partitions 60, replicaiton-factors 2 and set log.retention.hours to 24 , Then i send some messages to `test`. some days later, i create a consumer for this topic. but i got `out of range` (i store my offset on kafka)
So my questions is: 1. the `__consumer_offset` topic is just normal topic like other? Is its log.retention.hours same to other topics? 2. If I set log.retention.hours to 24 hours and store some some offsets in `_consumer_offset_32/00000000000000.log`, which offset would i get after 24 hours. for the reason of topic deletion, will i get 0 offset? I doubt that my `out of range exception` is caused by this i described above. My english is so pool. hope people can understand. WanliTian
