Hi Our requirement is related, we want our streams application to only process messages from the last x weeks. On new deployments this requires starting the application first, stopping the application and then resetting the offsets. I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8766 with the idea to allow providing a custom offset selection mechanism. No KIP has been filed yet but maybe it helps to aggregate similar cases.
