Hi guys,

What will happen, if while having consumers running, I change the offset
kept in the zookeeper?

Will the consumer get updated?
Or will it override the zookeeper offsets?

I am asking it, because I have an idea that might be useful to my
clients, I want to supply them a web ui from which they could change the
offset their consumer is currently running on....
Thanks,

Hi,

If you change the offsets while at least one consumer instance is running,
the offsets in zookeeper will be overwritten. To safely overwrite the
offsets, you need to shutdown all consumers in that group.

Thanks,
