title: Kafka 0.11 how to reset offsets
body: <p>I'm trying to reset consumer offset with latest CLI tools for Kafka.</p>
  
  <pre><code>kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server kafka-host:9092 --group my-group --reset-offsets --to-earliest --all-topics
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As a result I see this output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TOPIC                            PARTITION  NEW-OFFSET
  FirstTopic                       0          0
  SecondTopic                      0          0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But running again command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>kafka-consumer-groups.bat --bootstrap-server kafka-host:9092 --group my-group --describe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>results in output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Consumer group 'my-group' has no active members.
  
  TOPIC              PARTITION  CURRENT-OFFSET  LOG-END-OFFSET  LAG
  FirstTopic         0          1230            1230            0  
  SecondTopic        0          1022            1022            0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried other options like resetting to explicit offset or specifying the topic directly but result is same. The output suggests that operation succeed while checking offsets with describe command or debugging shows that offset has not be changed.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone succeed with resetting consumer offset within non-zookeeper brokers.</p>
