>             Project: Apache Storm
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: storm-kafka
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
>            Reporter: Curtis Allen

> Using storm and storm-kafka 0.9.2-incubating
> In the storm kafka spout the default for maxOffsetBehind is 100000
> see https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/blob/v0.9.2-incubating/external/storm-kafka/src/jvm/storm/kafka/KafkaConfig.java#L38
> This default is too low and causes the kafka spout to start from the latest offset instead of the last committed offset without warning.
> see https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/blob/v0.9.2-incubating/external/storm-kafka/src/jvm/storm/kafka/PartitionManager.java#L95

> prd-use1c-pr-08-kafka-kamq-0004:4 from offset 22092614
> {code}
> To fix this problem I ended up setting spout config in my topology like so
> {code}
> spoutConf.maxOffsetBehind = Long.MAX_VALUE;
> {code}
> Why would the kafka spout skip to the latest offset if the current offset
> is more then 100000 behind by default?
> This seems like a bad default value, the spout literally skipped over
> months of data without any warning.
> Are the core contributors open to accepting a pull request that would set
> the default to Long.MAX_VALUE?
