python kafkaconsumer poll,使用者重启后，kafka-python从最后产生的消息中读取

i am using kafka-python to consume messages from a kafka queue (kafka version 0.10.2.0). In particular i am using KafkaConsumer type.

If the consumer stops and after a while it is restarted i would like to restart from the latest produced message, that is drop all the messages produced during the time the consumer was down.

How can i achieve this?

Thanks

You will not to seekToEnd() to the end of the log.

Keep in mind, that you first need to subscribe to a topic before you can seek. Also, subscribing is lazy. Thus, you will need to add a "dummy poll" before you can seek, too.

consumer.subscribe(...)

consumer.poll() // dummy poll

consumer.seekToEnd()

// now enter your regular poll-loop
