Hi there,

I am using kafka 0.8 (currently 0.8.0-beta1-candidate1) and I want my consumer 
to fail if it can not reliably find out the last consumed offset from zookeeper.

According to https://kafka.apache.org/08/configuration.html for 
"https://kafka.apache.org/08/configuration.html";  

> What to do when there is no initial offset in Zookeeper or if an offset is 
> out of range:
..
>* anything else: throw exception to the consumer


But it looks like the exception is always thrown, not only when there is no 
initial offset found in Zookeper. It;s being validated at startup...
Is there a workaround to fail only if no offset is found in zk?

Regards,

Martin
