Hi, I have a use case that would benefit from reading from a kafka topic in reverse order. I saw some similar questions on this in the mailing list, but didn't see a way to do this discussed with the 0.9 consumer api.
Is it possible to do this in the 0.9 consumer api? I don't need it to be super fast. We'll be using the process a small number of times per week and am ok with some slower performance. I noticed that the simple consumer API had a way to get offsets (getOffsetsBefore), but didn't find the corresponding method in the 0.9 consumer. If that getOffsetsBefore method existed, I could do something like: - stopOffset = getOffsetsBefore(<now>) - startReadOffset = getOffsetsBefore(<now - 30mins>) - read from startReadOffset until stopOffset - then repeat until we don't get anymore offsets (so next read would be [now-60mins] until [now-30mins]) Is that possible or something easier possible? Thanks Vu
