Robert V updated KAFKA-7556:
----------------------------
    Description: 
h2. Description of the problem

The method `org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.beginningOffsets` 
claims in its Javadoc documentation that it would 'Get the first offset for the 
given partitions.'.

I used it with a compacted topic, and it always returned offset 0 for all 
partitions.
 Not sure if using a compacted topic actually matters, but I'm enclosing this 
information anyway.

Given a Kafka topic with retention set, and old log files being removed as a 
result of that, the effective start offset of those partitions move further; it 
simply will be greater than offset 0.

However, calling the `beginningOffsets` method always returns offset 0 as the 
first offset.

In contrast, when the method 
`org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.offsetsForTimes` is called 
with a timestamp of 0L (UNIX epoch 1st Jan, 1970), it correctly returns the 
effective start offsets for each partitions.

h2. Proposed fix
 * If the intention is to return what the beginning offset ever was, the 
Javadoc documentation should be explicit about it and another method should be 
added to query the effective start offsets.
 * Alternatively, the method should return the actual start offset of the 
partitions at the time of calling this method. Which, for topics with retention 
policy set, is not equal to what the start offsets were before removing log 
files.

h2. Description of the problem

The method `org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.beginningOffsets` 
claims in its Javadoc documentation that it would 'Get the first offset for the 
given partitions.'.

I used it with a compacted topic, and it always returned offset 0 for all 
partitions.
Not sure if using a compacted topic actually matters, but I'm enclosing this 
information anyway.

Given a Kafka topic with retention set, and old log files being removed as a 
result of that, the effective start offset of those partitions move further; it 
simply will be greater than offset 0.

However, calling the `beginningOffsets` method always returns offset 0 as the 
first offset.

In contrast, when the method 
`org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.offsetsForTimes` is called 
with a timestamp of 0L (UNIX epoch 1st Jan, 1970), it correctly returns the 
effective start offsets for each partitions.

h2. Proposed fix
 * If the intention is to return what the beginning offset ever was, the 
Javadoc documentation should be explicit about it and another method should be 
added to query the effective start offsets.
 * Alternatively, the method should return the actual start offset of the 
partitions at the time of calling this method. Which, for topics with retention 
policy set, is not equal to what the start offsets were before removing log 
files.

>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0

> h2. Description of the problem
> The method `org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.beginningOffsets` 
> claims in its Javadoc documentation that it would 'Get the first offset for 
> the given partitions.'.
> I used it with a compacted topic, and it always returned offset 0 for all 
> partitions.
>  Not sure if using a compacted topic actually matters, but I'm enclosing this 
> information anyway.
> Given a Kafka topic with retention set, and old log files being removed as a 
> result of that, the effective start offset of those partitions move further; 
> it simply will be greater than offset 0.
> However, calling the `beginningOffsets` method always returns offset 0 as the 
> first offset.
> In contrast, when the method 
> `org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.offsetsForTimes` is called 
> with a timestamp of 0L (UNIX epoch 1st Jan, 1970), it correctly returns the 
> effective start offsets for each partitions.
> Output of using 
> `org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.beginningOffsets`:
