> On our situation, we want the consumers only consume the messages which was 
> produced after subscribing.   
> Currently, kafka support 3 stategies with auto.offset.reset, but seems both 
> of them can not support the feature we want.
>  * {{latest}} (the default) , if a consumer subscribe a new topic and then 
> close, during these times, there are some message was produced,  the consumer 
> can not poll these messages.
>  * earliest , consumer may consume all the messages on the topic  before 
> subscribing.
>  * none, not in this scope.
> Before version 1.1.0, we make the consumer poll and commit  after subscribe 
> as below, this can mark the offset to 0 and works (enable.auto.commit is 
> false) .
>  
> {code:java}
> consumer.subscribe(topics, consumerRebalanceListener);
> if(consumer.assignment().isEmpty()) {
>    consumer.poll(0);
>    consumer.commitSync();
> }
> {code}
> After upgrade the clients to >=1.1.0,  it is broke. Seems it was broke by the 
> fix 
> [KAFKA-6397|https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/677881afc52485aef94150be50d6258d7a340071#diff-267b7c1e68156c1301c56be63ae41dd0],
>  but I am not sure about that.  Then I try to invoke the 
> consumer.position(partitions) in onPartitionsAssigned of 
> ConsumerRebalanceListener,  it works again. but it looks strangely that get 
> the position but do nothing.  
>  
> so we want to know whether there is a formal way to do this, maybe introduce 
> another stategy for auto.offset.reset to only consume the message after  the 
> consumer subscribing is perfect.
