> Add a new request into admin client to manually setting the committed offsets
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5181
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Guozhang Wang
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> In the old consumer, where offsets are stored in ZK, a common operation is to
> manually set the committed offsets for consumers by writing directly to ZK.
> In the new consumer we remove the ZK dependency because it is risky to let
> any client to talk to directly ZK, which is a multi-tenant service. However
> this common operation "shortcut" is lost because of that change.
> We should add this functionality back to Kafka, and now with the admin client
> we could add it there. The client only needs to find the corresponding group
> coordinator and send the offset commit request to it. The handling logic on
> the broker side should not change.
