https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Problem-about-Configuring-Flume-as-Kafka-Consumer/m-p/85368#M45295 <P>So, there were three issues.&nbsp; First off, you were correct in that the group was not attached to the partition.&nbsp; I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm new to kafka, so I'm not sure how the&nbsp;groups get associated with a partition.&nbsp; In my case the partition was already tied to a different group that I'm not familiar with.&nbsp; I'll need to do some research.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Second, my offsets were equal, so I had to reset my offset to 0.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Third, my java heap was too small.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Soon as I tweaked those, and adjusted to the proper group, as seen in the kafka-consumer-groups command, data is flowing.&nbsp; Now to figure out how the groups work.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks so much for your help.</P> Wed, 23 Jan 2019 20:26:23 GMT kherrmann 2019-01-23T20:26:23Z
