I have a unique situation where we have a kafka broker running since last 5 years. I have to spin up a new consumer but i know for sure that records/messages before 2023 are useless to me. Is there a way I can start reading records from Jan 1st 2023?

can the seek api help here?

Yes, seek method after calling offsetsForTimes can help.

By default, non-compacted Kafka topics only hold data for 7 days, however.
