Hi , i have a topology where i am emmitting json objects onto a kafka topic using a kafka producer to a storm bolt. I have been relaying the same objects on the same topic over and over again as i am figuring out few things. after a while i can see that if i use kafkaConfig.forceFromStart=true; then i can see the messages on the topic from start to the recent most offset value, however , whenever i use kafkaConfig.forceFromStart=false; , my bolt does not receive any data . Is this normal behaviour or am i missing something. Also, is it wise to use Zookeeper 3.4.6 along with kafka 2.10_8.1.1 . . and storm 0.9.2_incubating which supports the kafka spout. Also in the above topology i am using kafka spout for ingesting data into storm.
Thanks, Siddharth Ubale
