Hi, No Consumers are not falling behind . What happens is the users of the consumers don't fetch messages for certain period of time and when then the users want to fetch the want to fetch the latest messages from the topic.
For example in case of displaying news feed each user has got its own topic , if the users don't login for couple of day he wouldn't consume the messages from the topic.But when he logs in he want to get the latest update for which we have to fetch the latest messages from the topic. So is it possible to use the zkconsumer and set the offset to last 100 messages and then fetch them.
