Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-236:
-------------------------------
To reset the offset, under the cover, we use getLastestOffsetBefore(), which
supports an arbitrary starting timestamp, in addition to smallest and largest.
However, getLastestOffsetBefore has a very coarse granularity at this moment.
It only returns the offset of the first message in a log segment file based on
its last modified time. So, depending on the log segment size, this may or may
not be good enough for some applications.
> Make 'autooffset.reset' accept a delay in addition to {smallest,largest}
