Hello all,

I have to read data from Kafka topic at regular intervals. I create the 
dataframe as shown below.  I don’t want to start reading from the beginning on 
each run. At the same time, I don’t want to miss the messages between run 
intervals.

val queryDf = sqlContext
  .read
  .format("kafka")
  .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", hosts)
  .option("enable.auto.commit", true)
  .option("subscribe", topicName)
  .option("auto.commit.interval.ms", 1000)
  .option("startingOffsets", " latest")  //??  earliest OR latest
  .load()
  .selectExpr("CAST(value AS STRING) as message")

I would like to understand where the offsets will be stored, so that I can 
supply it each time the application starts. Or is there a way to supply a 
custom location where to store the offsets.
This is not a Steaming application. So, I am not sure if checkpoint directory 
is valid in this case.

Any pointers would be highly helpful.


thanks,
Vishal
