Eno, thanks! In my case I think I need more functionality for fault tolerance, so will look at KafkaConsumer.

As the Javadoc mentions: "What to do when there is no initial offset in Kafka or if the current offset does not exist any more on the server (e.g. because that data has been deleted)": ... props.put(ConsumerConfig.AUTO_OFFSET_RESET_CONFIG, "earliest"); ... return new KafkaStreams(builder, props) In addition, there is a tool to reset the offsets of all topics to the beginning. This is useful for reprocessing: https://www.confluent.io/blog/data-reprocessing-with-kafka-streams-resetting-a-streams-application/ However, there is no option currently for resetting the offset to an arbitrary offset.
