Jiangjie Qin commented on FLINK-10806:
--------------------------------------

[~wind_ljy] This is a common case. And this is what {{auto.offset.reset}} is 
designed for. It allows you to specify from which point you want to start 
consume if there is no committed offset on a partition, either from the 
beginning or from the end of the partition. From what you describe, do you want 
to consume from the latest in this case?

> In KafkaConsumerBase, we discover the TopicPartitions and compare them with 
> the restoredState. It's reasonable when a topic's partitions scaled. However, 
> if we add a new topic which has too much data and restore the Flink program, 
> the data of the new topic will be consumed from the start, which may not be 
> what we want.  I think this should be an option for developers.
