KafkaPosition

KafkaPosition names a place in the log: either end, an offset, an offset of one topic, or a timestamp.

Kafka keeps its log, so a subscription can be moved through it, at startup with start_at or from a handler with a seek. KafkaPosition::earliest() is the oldest record each partition retains, and KafkaPosition::latest() is the end of each partition's log. KafkaPosition::timestamp(millis) is, on each partition, the first record stamped at or after that time in epoch milliseconds; a partition with no such record resumes at its end. These three apply to every partition the subscription reads. KafkaPosition::offset(partition, offset) is one partition at an absolute offset, on every topic the subscription reads. KafkaPosition::topic_offset(topic, partition, offset) names the topic too, which a subscription over several topics needs. A delivery's own coordinates are a position as well: Ctx<Position> binds them, and a seek there replays that record. A position on a partition or a topic the subscription does not read is refused with an error.

Example

A new reporting group starts from the first reading stamped at or after the time its configuration names.
