We have a topic whose consumers, on startup, only need to consume from the head of the topic. They don't need to consume old messages they may have missed.
We would like to use the high-level consumer, as the API is a bit simpler. Is there a way to reset the current offsets for the high-level consumer? We've though about deleting the consumer group nodes in ZK manually, but that seems brittle as those locations may change from release to release. Is there this level of control somewhere I've missed? Thanks - Bob
