Aldo Sinanaj commented on KAFKA-7095: ------------------------------------- Hi [~hachikuji] thanks for replying. The consumer configuration for this property is: _auto.offset.reset = latest_ Any idea? > Low traffic consumer is not consuming messages after the offsets is deleted > by Kafka > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-7095 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7095 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1 > Reporter: Aldo Sinanaj > Priority: Minor > > Hello guys. > I have a low traffic consumers for a given consumer group and I have the > default broker setting for this property *offsets.retention.minutes*. So if a > messages is coming after 2 days and Kafka has deleted the offset for that > given consumer, then the consumer will not consume the new incoming messages. > If I restart the application it will consume from the earliest which is > obvious since the offset is deleted. > My question is why it doesn't consume the new messages if I don't restart the > application? And how does this version of Kafka understands if a consumer is > active or inactive? Is my consumer considered inactive in this case? > Thanks, > Aldo -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
