Hi, I notice the kafka-console-consumer.sh script has option to fetch a max # of messages, which can be 1 or more, and then exit. Which is nice. But as a high level consumer, it's missing option to fetch from given offset other than earliest & latest offsets.
Is there any off the shelf tool (CLI, simple script, etc.) that I can use to fetch 1 or more messages from a given offset of some topic as a consumer, then exit? Or do I have to write my own tool to do this from any of the kafka libraries in various languages? If the later, is there any where I can whip one up in fewest lines possible? I don't want to have to read up and spend time crafting up a tool for this if I don't have to. Wish this feature was already built in to the kafka toolchain. Regards, David
