Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-232:
-------------------------------
We discussed in the mailing before about allowing the ZK-based consumer to
consume from an arbitrary offset during startup time. Here is the main
complexity. Multiple consumers in the same group can consume a topic jointly.
When they start up, which consumer sets the offset for which partitions? How do
we prevent 2 consumers from setting the offset for the same partition?
> ConsumerConnector has no access to "getOffsetsBefore"

> kafka.javaapi.SimpleConsumer has "getOffsetsBefore". I would like this
