Reading from Kafka

[#1]

Is there a current pattern to read data from a Kafka topic for a range of time? Looking at APIs, I only see options around log.retention in time and bytes.

No way to read based on timestamp right now, there is a discussion in the community https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-32+-+Add+timestamps+to+Kafka+message
