Question

Any idea how to set group name when consuming messages in kafka using command line.

I tried with the following command :

bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --         


        

Answer 1

Got the answer to change the groupname from command prompt!!

steps:

1. create a new consumer.properties file, say consumer1.properties.
2. change group.id= in the consumer1.properties.
3. bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic topicname --from-beginning --consumer.config config/consumer1.properties --delete-consumer-offsets
