I am using the Java Kafka 0.9 client. When I subscribe to a topic I provide a ConsumerRebalanceListener. In the "onPartitionsAssigned" method I am doing this:
partitions.foreach( (tp: TopicPartition) => { consumer.seek(tp, consumer.position(tp)) }) However, sometimes I end up an infinite loop with IllegalStateExceptions being thrown [1]: No current assignment for partition <topic-partition> I thought it was safe to seek because the consumer should have been assigned when this method is invoked. Am I missing something? For what it's worth, I am manually committing offsets (using commitSync).
