Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-2500:
----------------------------------------------
[~hachikuji] Yeah, sorry, that is what I meant. I think this thread got
confusing since it discussed 2 separate things. I'm not sure I see why anything
other than reading log end offset outside the context of a fetch would be
necessary for anything described here, so I thought that is what was being
referenced, i.e. basically that KAFKA-2076 would resolve it. But I guess in
some cases just getting that data for free inline with your fetches might be
more convenient.
> Make logEndOffset available in the 0.8.3 Consumer

> Key: KAFKA-2500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2500
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.8.3
> Reporter: Will Funnell
> Assignee: Jason Gustafson
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> Originally created in the old consumer here:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1977
> The requirement is to create a snapshot from the Kafka topic but NOT do
> continual reads after that point. For example you might be creating a backup
> of the data to a file.
> This ticket covers the addition of the functionality to the new consumer.
> In order to achieve that, a recommended solution by Joel Koshy and Jay Kreps
> was to expose the high watermark, as maxEndOffset, from the FetchResponse
> object through to each MessageAndMetadata object in order to be aware when
> the consumer has reached the end of each partition.
> The submitted patch achieves this by adding the maxEndOffset to the
> PartitionTopicInfo, which is updated when a new message arrives in the
> ConsumerFetcherThread and then exposed in MessageAndMetadata.
