Question is not very clear but it seems you want to manage kafka offset from a consumer. You can manually manage the offset in your code using a low level consumer client.

As I am looking at the tags associated with your question and the "consumer client" in your question, you are asking about a tool available to manage the offsets for a consumer client that is committing offsets to Kafka. Bad news! There is currently no tool available to manage the offsets for a consumer client that is committing offsets to Kafka. This function is only available for consumers that are committing offsets to Zookeeper. In order to manage offsets for a group that is committing to Kafka, you must use the APIs available in the client to commit offsets for the group.

It may be an old thread. But I added a tool for the same which may be useful here
