Flink Kafka Consumer Behaviour

[Janardhan Reddy]

Hi,

When the run the following command i am getting that no topic is available
for that consumer group.  i am suing
flink-connector-kafka-0.8_${scala.version}(2.11).

./bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper <> --group <> --describe

No topic available for consumer group provided


Does the kafka consumer commit offset to the broker always ? Do we need to
enable checkpointing for the offsets to be committed ?


Thanks
