Vamsi Subhash Achanta commented on KAFKA-1977:
----------------------------------------------
can this be merged in the old consumer code in 0.8.2.x branch? We also have the
same kind of requirement.
> Make logEndOffset available in the Zookeeper consumer

> Key: KAFKA-1977
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1977
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Will Funnell
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments:
> Make_logEndOffset_available_in_the_Zookeeper_consumer.patch
>
>
> The requirement is to create a snapshot from the Kafka topic but NOT do
> continual reads after that point. For example you might be creating a backup
> of the data to a file.
> In order to achieve that, a recommended solution by Joel Koshy and Jay Kreps
> was to expose the high watermark, as maxEndOffset, from the FetchResponse
> object through to each MessageAndMetadata object in order to be aware when
> the consumer has reached the end of each partition.
> The submitted patch achieves this by adding the maxEndOffset to the
> PartitionTopicInfo, which is updated when a new message arrives in the
> ConsumerFetcherThread and then exposed in MessageAndMetadata.
