@Connor O'Neal The import offset tool is the opposite of exporting. See my answer to your other question to understand the exporting step: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/84827/is-there-a-tool-to-export-offsets.html#answer-84846 To import the offsets for the consumer group named “testconsumergroup” from a file named “offsets”: kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ImportZkOffsets --zkconnect mykafka.abc.com:2181/kafka-cluster --input-file offsets +++ If this helped, please vote/accept as the best answer. ...

@Connor O'Neal There is no named script to export offsets, but we are able to use the kafka-run-class.sh script to execute the underlying Java class for the tool in the proper environment. Exporting offsets will produce a file that contains each topic partition for the group and it’s offsets in a defined format that the import tool can read. The file that is created will have one topic partition per line, with the following format: /consumers/GROUPNAME/offsets/topic/TOPICNAME/PARTITIONID-0:OFFSET Let's assume export the offsets for the consumer group named “testconsumergroup” to a file named “offsets”: # kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ExportZkOffsets --zkconnect mykafka.abc.com:2181/kafka-cluster --group testconsumergroup --output-file offsets # cat offsets /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/0:8905 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/1:8915 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/2:9845 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/3:8072 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/4:8008 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/5:8319 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/6:8102 /consumers/testconsumergroup/offsets/my-topic/7:12739 +++ If this helped, please vote/accept response. ...
