Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-12541:
-------------------------------------
Maybe you already knew this and are in the process of writing a KIP already,
but if not... Since this change affects a public API there's a process for
discussing and approving such changes that's separate from the PR process.
You'll need to open a "KIP" and start a discussion thread. For more info see
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals].

> Key: KAFKA-12541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12541
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: admin
> Reporter: Tom Scott
> Assignee: Tom Scott
> Priority: Minor
>
> In Kafka 2.7 the following method was added to AdminClient that provides this
> information:
> {panel}
> {panel}
> |{{public}} {{ListOffsetsResult listOffsets(Map<TopicPartition,OffsetSpec>
> topicPartitionOffsets,}}
> {{ }}{{ListOffsetsOptions options)}}|
> [https://kafka.apache.org/27/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/admin/KafkaAdminClient.html#listOffsets-java.util.Map-org.apache.kafka.clients.admin.ListOffsetsOptions-]
> where OffsetSpec can be:
> * OffsetSpec.EarliestSpec
> * OffsetSpec.LatestSpec
> * OffsetSpec.TimestampSpec
>
> This ticket introduces a new spec:
> {panel}
> {panel}
> |{{OffsetSpec.MaxTimestampSpec }}{{// this returns the offset and timestamp
> for the record with the highest timestamp.}}|
> This indicates to the AdminClient that we want to fetch the timestamp and
> offset for the record with the largest timestamp produced to a partition.
