Hi Ryanne, Here is the output of the command:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server server --describe --group group_name Error: Executing consumer group command failed due to The consumer group command timed out while waiting for group to initialize The group_name consumer group is not running in the cluster. What is noteworthy is that the consumer group group_name cannot be reset by the CLI (to either latest or earliest) and is still not working way past the retention period of all the topics (from the consumers with latest or earliest auto.offset.reset). Here is the output: bin/kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server server --group group_name --reset-offsets --to-latest --execute Error: Executing consumer group command failed due to The consumer group command timed out while waiting for group to initialize Karim On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 8:27 PM Ryanne Dolan <ryannedo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Karim, can you inspect the offsets using kafka-consumer-groups.sh and let > us know what you see? > > Also, is it possible that "group_name" is being used by a consumer group > that is still running?
