I checked the __consumer_offsets topic and here is an extraction from this log for the same consumer group, a specific topic (users) and specific partition (15):
[storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8327,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8327, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503230031557,ExpirationTime 1503316431557] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8330,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8330, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503230332504,ExpirationTime 1503316732504] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[6512,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=6512, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503230748612,ExpirationTime 1503317148612] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8172,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8172, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503230791209,ExpirationTime 1503317191209] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8330,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8330, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503230821337,ExpirationTime 1503317221337] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8333,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8333, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503231513311,ExpirationTime 1503317913311] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8338,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8338, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503231603513,ExpirationTime 1503318003513] [storm_kafka_topology,users,15]::[OffsetMetadata[8344,{topic-partition=users-15, offset=8344, numFails=0, thread='Thread-11-kafkaSpout-executor[4 4]'}],CommitTime 1503231693829,ExpirationTime 1503318093829] we can see here that the consumer was at offset 8330 at Sunday, August 20, 2017 11:53:51.557 AM and at offset 6512 somes minutes after (the kafka restart occured at this time) What can explain the consumer group to rewind partition like this ?
