Hi Sachin, There is no need to check within the app whether the offset exists or not, since the consumer code will do that check automatically for you. So in practice an app will include the property below (e.g., set to "earliest"), but that will only have an effect if the consumer detects that the offsets do not exist anymore. If the offset exist, then that line is a noop.
So in summary, I'd just include that property, and no more code changes are required.
