Dustin Cote created KAFKA-5327: ---------------------------------- Summary: Console Consumer should only poll for up to max messages Key: KAFKA-5327 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5327 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: tools Reporter: Dustin Cote Priority: Minor
The ConsoleConsumer has a --max-messages flag that can be used to limit the number of messages consumed. However, the number of records actually consumed is governed by max.poll.records. This means you see one message on the console, but your offset has moved forward a default of 500, which is kind of counterintuitive. It would be good to only commit offsets for messages we have printed to the console. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
