I have a case when consumer will be down then the offset should be used to check which message will be picked from where it left and not start from beginning. I have found many ways in other languages but I need the same in VB .net. How to implement offset in vb.net and commit?

  • If I understood your question, this is default Kafka behavior (consumers are **not** always started from the beginning), so what issues are you running into? – OneCricketeer Jul 21 '22 at 16:12

When you call Commit or Close on an IConsumer instance, it will commit its offsets (assuming auto commit is enabled for Close).

When the consumer is restarted for the same GroupId then those committed offsets will be used.
