Kafka 0.11 how to reset offsets - apache-kafka

Question

I'm trying to reset consumer offset with latest CLI tools for Kafka.
kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server kafka-host:9092 --group my-group --reset-offsets --to-earliest --all-topics
As a result I see this output:
TOPIC PARTITION NEW-OFFSET
FirstTopic 0 0
SecondTopic 0 0
But running again command:
kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server kafka-host:9092 --group my-group --describe
results in output:
Consumer group 'my-group' has no active members.
TOPIC PARTITION CURRENT-OFFSET LOG-END-OFFSET LAG
FirstTopic 0 1230 1230 0
SecondTopic 0 1022 1022 0
I've tried other options like resetting to explicit offset or specifying the topic directly but result is same. The output suggests that operation succeed while checking offsets with describe command or debugging shows that offset has not be changed.
Anyone succeed with resetting consumer offset within non-zookeeper brokers.

Answer 1

By default, --reset-offsets just prints the result of the operation. To actually perform the operation you need to add --execute to your command:
kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server kafka-host:9092 --group
my-group --reset-offsets --to-earliest --all-topics --execute

Answer 2

Though the accepted answer perfectly answers OP question, there are more parameters available to reset offsets. So adding this answer to extend accepted answer.
To reset offset of all topics to earliest in the consumer group
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_broker_host:9091> --group
<group_name> --reset-offsets --to-earliest --all-topics --execute
To reset offset of specific topic to earliest in the consumer group
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_broker_host:9091> --group
<group_name> --reset-offsets --to-earliest --topic <my-topic> --execute
To reset offset of specific topic to specific offset in the consumer group
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_broker_host:9091> --group
<group_name> --reset-offsets --to-offset 1000 --topic <my-topic> --execute
Other supported arguments:
--shift-by [positive or negative integer] - Shifts offset forward or backward from given integer.
--to-current and --to-latest are same as --to-offset and --to-earliest.
--to-datetime [Datetime format is yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.xxx]
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_broker_host:9091> --group
<group_name> --reset-offsets --to-datetime 2017-08-04T00:00:00.000 [ --all-topics or --topic <topic-name> ] --execute
--by-duration [Format is PnDTnHnMnS]
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_broker_host:9091> --group
<group_name> --reset-offsets --by-duration PT0H10M0S [ --all-topics or --topic <topic-name> ] --execute
Reset to offset by duration from current timestamp.
How to validate?
Use below command to check current/end of offsets and to confirm reset made the cahnges.
kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server <kafka_host:port> --group <group_id> --describe
Sample output:
Consumer group 'group1' has no active members.
TOPIC PARTITION CURRENT-OFFSET LOG-END-OFFSET LAG CONSUMER-ID HOST CLIENT-ID
intro 0 0 99 99 - - -
Possible Errors:
Error: Assignments can only be reset if the group '[group_name]' is inactive, but the current state is Stable.
'Stable' means, there is an active consumer running for this group. So first you have to stop the active consumer(s) and retry resetting offsets.
It is not possible to reset offsets if there is an active consumer for the consumer group.

Answer 4

For people who can't figure out what kafka-consumer-groups.sh is or are using kt client
kt group -reset oldest -topic <YOUR_TOPIC_NAME> -group <YOUR_CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME> -partitions all -brokers <YOUR_BROKER>
You can also view its help manual for customization
$ kt -help
kt is a tool for Kafka.
Usage:
kt command [arguments]
The commands are:
consume consume messages.
produce produce messages.
topic topic information.
group consumer group information and modification.
admin basic cluster administration.
Use "kt [command] -help" for for information about the command.
Authentication:
Authentication with Kafka can be configured via a JSON file.
You can set the file name via an "-auth" flag to each command or
set it via the environment variable KT_AUTH.
