Question about resetting offsets and the high-level consumerBob Cotton 2012-11-09, 13:04
We have a topic whose consumers, on startup, only need to consume from the
head of the topic. They don't need to consume old messages they may have
missed.
We would like to use the high-level consumer, as the API is a bit simpler.
Is there a way to reset the current offsets for the high-level consumer?
We've though about deleting the consumer group nodes in ZK manually, but
that seems brittle as those locations may change from release to release.
Is there this level of control somewhere I've missed?
Thanks

Bob,
The high level consumer doesn't support resetting the starting offset right
now. We will look into that post 0.8 as part of the consumer redesign.
Thanks,

Really? So what does the autooffset.reset=largest do ?

Re: Question about resetting offsets and the high-level consumerMichal Haris 2012-11-10, 14:41
Found it in archives, autooffset.reset is only used when the consumer
registering first time or the last committed offset is out-of-range, so
that means that we have to create direct connection to the zookeeper and
set/delete the /consumer/xyz/offset/topic123/*-* before starting the
consumer to get it reset to the head of the stream.. shouldn't be a big
problem to patch the consumer api with a method to do that right ?

Re: Question about resetting offsets and the high-level consumerJun Rao 2012-11-12, 06:03
It's easy if there is only a single consumer in the group. In general,
however, there could be multiple consumers in the same group. So, some kind
of coordination is needed.

Of course assuming that none of the consumers in the group are interested
in the missed messages in such case.

Re: Question about resetting offsets and the high-level consumerJun Rao 2012-11-14, 05:38
It's more than that. For example, what if 2 consumers want to set different
offsets for the same partition?

Re: Question about resetting offsets and the high-level consumerMichal Haris 2012-11-16, 00:22
Well, resetting could follow the partition ownership where only owned
partitions can be reset by any one consumer. There's definitely a case for
consumer applications that are more about observing frequencies rather than
total aggregation and so are typically interested in last couple of seconds
/ minutes of the stream.
