Hi everyone, we use kafka 2.3.0 from the confluent-kafka-2.11 Debian package on Debian 10.
When we want to set an offset of a consumer to a datetime, we get a timeout error even if we use the timeout switch of the kafka-consumer-groups script: > kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group cg1 --topic > 'topic1' --reset-offsets --to-datetime '2019-11-30T00:00:00.000' --timeout > 1200000 --dry-run > Error: Executing consumer group command failed due to Failed to get offsets > by times in 60003ms > org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Failed to get offsets by > times in 60003ms Where can we set this timeout? As far as we could see from the documents this should be a setting on the client side: request.timeout.ms. We are using the kafka-consumer-groups tool that is shipped with the confluent distribution, but this is just a wrapper to use the kafka-run-class tool, as it is with the vanilla kafka distribution. Setting the offset to a specific offset value or to the earliest works without any issues. Is there any way to set the offset to a datetime value? This would be very helpful. Can you guide on where we need to change the config so that this timeout doesn't happen? Best regards, Bernd
