Kafka bootstrap consumer offset reset

[#1]

Hi,

We are using kafka 0.10.2 with CDH5.11. Our users use both zookeeper and bootstrap consumer groups. Is it possible to reset the offset of bootstrap consumers?

The easiest way to reset the offsets is to just change the consumer group.id. Kafka will detect there are no pre-existing offsets, and then use the auto.offset.reset value to determine whether to reset to earliest or latest.

If you are using CDK3.0 (0.11 upstream), you can use the --reset-offsets option to kafka-consumer-groups:
