Hi Gordon, When I used FlinkKafkaConsumer010 to consume log from Kafka, I found that if I used `setStartFromLatest()` the kafka consumer api didn't auto commit offsets back to consumer group, but if I used `setStartFromGroupOffsets()` it worked fine.
I am sure that the configuration for Kafka has `auto.commit.interval.ms = 5000` and `enable.auto.commit = true` and I didn't enable checkpointing. All the difference is only the change from `setStartFromGroupOffsets()` to `setStartFromLatest()`, but the auto commit mechanism just stopped working. My Flink cluster version is 1.3.2. My Kafka cluster version is 0.10.2.1. My Zookeeper version for Kafka is 3.4.6-1569965, built on 02/20/2014 09:09 GMT. My Kafka connector library is "org.apache.flink" % "flink-connector-kafka-0.10_2.10" % "1.3.2" Thanks for your help in advance. Best Regards, Tony Wei
