I have single machine set up for kafka and wanted to run que based kaffa. I have set up group name in consumer.properties like this.
consumer group id
group.id=test-consumer-group
and when I run 2 consumer both for same topic both gets the message. Is there anything else I need to do other than this?
sudo bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh config/consumer.properties --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic 219Topic --from-beginning
I am using command prompt only no client currently for testing.
Thanks,

I've spent some hours to figure out what was going on but didn't manage to find the solution.
Here is my set up on a single machine:
1 zookeeper running
3 broker running (on port 9092/9093/9094)
1 topic with 3 partitions and 3 replications (each partition are properly assigned between brokers)
I'm using kafka console producer to insert messages. If i check the replication offset (cat replication-offset-checkpoint), I see that my messages are properly ingested by Kafka.
Now I use the kafka console consumer (new):
sudo bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning --topic testTopicPartitionned2
I dont see anything consumed. I tried to delete my logs folder (/tmp/kafka-logs-[1,2,3]), create new topics, still nothing.
However when I use the old kafka consumer:
sudo bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic testTopicPartitionned2
I can see my messages.
Am I missing something big here to make this new consumer work ?
Thanks in advance.
Check to see what setting the consumer is using for auto.offset.reset property
This will affect what a consumer group without a previously committed offset will do in terms of setting where to start reading messages from a partition.
Check the Kafka docs for more on this.
Try providing all your brokers to --bootstrap-server argument to see if you notice any differnce:
sudo bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092,localhost:9093,localhost:9094 --from-beginning --topic testTopicPartitionned2
Also, your topic name is rather long. I assume you've already made sure you provide the correct topic name.
I am playing aroung Kafka, when I use
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --from-beginning --topic test
Kafka will automatically create a consumer group. I am wondering how to get the consumer group name?
You should use kafka-consumer-groups.sh. The following command will list you all consumer groups.
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --list --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
Note: This will only show information about consumers that use the Java Consumer API (non-Zookeeper-based consumers).
I want to delete a Kakfa consumer group so that when the application creates a consumer and subscribes to a topic it can start at the beginning of the topic data.
This is with a single node development vm using the current latest Confluent Platform 3.1.2 which uses Kafka 0.10.1.1.
I try the normal syntax:
sudo /usr/bin/kafka-consumer-groups --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --delete --group my_consumer_group
I get the error:
Option [delete] is only valid with [zookeeper]. Note that there's no need to delete group metadata for the new consumer as the group is deleted when the last committed offset for that group expires.
If I try the zookeeper variant:
sudo /usr/bin/kafka-consumer-groups --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --group my_consumer_group
I get:
Delete for group my_consumer_group failed because group does not exist.
If I list using the "old" consumer, I do not see my consumer group (or any other consumer groups)
sudo /usr/bin/kafka-consumer-groups --zookeeper localhost:2181 --list
If I list using the "new" consumer, I can see my consumer group but apparently I can't delete it:
sudo /usr/bin/kafka-consumer-groups --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --list
This can be done with Kafka 1.1.x. From the documentation:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --delete --group my-group --group my-other-group
In Kafka 0.11 (or Confluent 3.3) you can reset the offsets of any existing consumer group without having to delete the topic. In fact you can change the offsets to any absolute offset value or timestamp or any relative position as well.
These new functions are all added with the new --reset-offsets flag on the kafka-consumer-groups command line tool.
See KIP-122 details here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-122%3A+Add+Reset+Consumer+Group+Offsets+tooling
Upgrading to the just released Confluent Platform 3.2 with Kafka 0.10.2 solved my underlying issue. When I delete a topic, offset information is now correctly reset. So when I create a topic with the same name, consumers start from the beginning of the new data.
I still can't delete new style consumer groups with the kafka-consumer-groups tool, but my underlying issue is solved.
Before Kafka 0.10.2, there were hacks, but no clean solution to this issue.
If you use Java client, you can first get the beginning offset.
TopicPartition partition = new TopicPartition("YOUR_TOPIC", YOUR_PARTITION);
Map<TopicPartition, Long> map = consumer.beginningOffsets(Collections.singleton(partition));
And the offset that consumer using to start processing, (if not delete the consumer group).
Long committedOffset = consumer.committed(partition).offset();
Now, if you think start from committedOffset is ok, just poll records.
if you want the beginning offset,
consumer.seek(partition, map.get(partition));
you can also reset the offset of single topic without deleting the entire consumer group :
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group my-group --topic my-topic --reset-offsets --to-earliest --execute
If you're using Windows and you need a JAAS config with password & username to access your kafka cluster, you can use the following commands
#consumer.properties
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" password="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
.\kafka\bin\windows\kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server xxxxxxxxxx.confluent.cloud:9092 --group cop-group --topic topic_name_ini --reset-offsets --to-earliest --execute --command-config .\kafka\config\consumer.properties
In the command above we used --command-config to pass a properties file for the JAAS config
How do I get, set, or reset the offset of a Kafka Connect connector/task/sink?
I can use the /usr/bin/kafka-consumer-groups tool which runs kafka.admin.ConsumerGroupCommand to see the offsets for all my regular Kafka consumer groups. However, Kafka Connect tasks and groups do not show up with this tool.
Similarly, I can use the zookeeper-shell to connect to Zookeeper and I can see zookeeper entries for regular Kafka consumer groups, but not for Kafka Connect sinks.
As of 0.10.0.0, Connect doesn't provide an API for managing offsets. It's something we want to improve in the future, but not there yet. The ConsumerGroupCommand would be the right tool to manage offsets for Sink connectors. Note that source connector offsets are stored in a special offsets topic for Connect (they aren't like normal Kafka offsets since they are defined by the source system, see offset.storage.topic in the worker configuration docs) and since sink Connectors uses the new consumer, they won't store their offsets in Zookeeper -- all modern clients use native Kafka-based offset storage. The ConsumerGroupCommand can work with these offsets, you just need to pass the --new-consumer option).
You can't set offsets, but you can use kafka-consumer-groups.sh tool to "scroll" the feed forward.
The consumer group of your connector has a name of connect-*CONNECTOR NAME*, but you can double check:
unset JMX_PORT; ./bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server *KAFKA HOSTS* --list
To view current offset:
unset JMX_PORT; ./bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server *KAFKA HOSTS* --group connect-*CONNECTOR NAME* --describe
To move the offset forward:
unset JMX_PORT; ./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server *KAFKA HOSTS* --topic *TOPIC* --max-messages 10000 --consumer-property group.id=connect-*CONNECTOR NAME* > /dev/null
I suppose you can move the offset backward as well by deleting the consumer group first, using --delete flag.
Don't forget to pause and resume your connector via Kafka Connect REST API.
In my case(testing reading files into producer and consume in console, all in local only), I just saw this in producer output:
offset.storage.file.filename=/tmp/connect.offsets
So I wanted to open it but it is binary, with some hardly recognizable characters.
I deleted it(rename it also works), and then I can write into the same file and get the file content from consumer again. You have to restart the console producer to take effect because it attempts to read the offset file, if not there, create a new one, so that the offset is reset.
If you want to reset it without deletion, you can use:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <group-name> --reset-offsets --to-earliest --topic <topic_name>
You can check all group names by:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --list
and check details of each group:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <group_name> --describe
In production environment, this offset is managed by zookeeper, so more steps (and caution) is needed. You can refer to this page:
https://metabroadcast.com/blog/resetting-kafka-offsets
https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/81357/manually-resetting-offset-for-a-kafka-topic.html
Steps:
kafka-topics --list --zookeeper localhost:2181
kafka-run-class kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list localhost:9092 -topic vital_signs --time -1 // -1 for largest, -2 for smallest
set /consumers/{yourConsumerGroup}/offsets/{yourFancyTopic}/{partitionId} {newOffset}
I have installed Apache Kafka to a Windows system and have tried a console Producer-Consumer example. In case I add new consumers to the topic, only the messages after adding the consumer are printed to the console. Is there any way to get all the messages of the particular topic?
You need to add --from-beginning flag to your console consumer command to get all messages.
Example command:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test --from-beginning
