KAFKA-3176: Add partition/offset options to both old and new console consumers With this pull request both old and new console consumers can be provided with optional --partition and --offset arguments so messages from a particular partition and starting from a particular offset are only consumed. The following rules are also implemented to avoid invalid combinations of arguments: - If --partition is provided --topic has to be provided too. - If --partition is provided --bootstrap-server (and not --zookeeper) should be provided too. - If --offset is provided --partition has to be provided too. - --offset and --from-beginning cannot be used at the same time.
