If I don't tell trident to start consuming data from the beginning of the Kafka stream, where does it start from? If I were to do: tridentKafkaConfig.forceFromStart = true; Then it will tell the spout to start consuming from the start of the stream. If that is not set, then where does it start consuming from? and How might I go about telling it to start consuming from the very end of the stream?
If a disaster were to happen and all my hosts died, when I start my cluster back up, it might start consuming from where it left off. I would rather manually process that old data, and have my storm system start processing the live data. Thanks -- Raphael Hsieh
