Common consumer parameters

Many consumers expose a CLI interface on top of arroyo, but in the case of Sentry’s own consumers they all look very similar. This page is there to explain some of them.

• --no-strict-offset-reset: Arroyo, by default, overwrites rdkafka’s offset reset behavior to always error when the underlying offset is out of range. That means auto-offset-reset: latest will reset to latest when the offset does not yet exist, but still error if the offset is out of range. This is to prevent accidental data loss during incident response, when a consumer has been backlogged for a very long time.

  In arroyo the parameter can be passed as kafka configuration parameter arroyo.strict.offset.reset.
