Within the consumers menu, when selecting a consumer group, there are two options for editing offsets, one in the actions button and the other for each partition. What is the difference between them?
Hello Edward_k,
The actions button is used to edit the topic as a whole. Because the partitions are not correlated or connected, you can only edit to the earliest offset, latest offset, or a specific point in time of the topic offsets. In accordance with your image, it would be the popup on the right. When editing a single partition, you can only change by offset and not edit by time, because editing by time offers no guarantee of when a particular set of messages entered, especially compared to another partition. In your picture, it would be the left popup. These are the differences between these buttons when editing the offset.
Cheers!
