---------------------------------

             Summary: AdminClient.listOffsets should return the offset for the record with highest timestamp
                 Key: KAFKA-12541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12541
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: admin
            Reporter: Tom Scott


In Kafka 2.7 the following method was added to AdminClient that provides this information:
{panel}
{panel}
|{{public}} {{ListOffsetsResult listOffsets(Map<TopicPartition,OffsetSpec> topicPartitionOffsets,}}
{{                                     }}{{ListOffsetsOptions options)}}|

[https://kafka.apache.org/27/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/admin/KafkaAdminClient.html#listOffsets-java.util.Map-org.apache.kafka.clients.admin.ListOffsetsOptions-]

where OffsetSpec can be:
 * OffsetSpec.EarliestSpec
 * OffsetSpec.LatestSpec
 * OffsetSpec.TimestampSpec

 
This ticket introduces a new spec:
{panel}
{panel}
|{{OffsetSpec.MaxTimestampSpec }}{{// this returns the offset and timestamp for the record with the highest timestamp.}}|

This indicates to the AdminClient that we want to fetch the timestamp and offset for the record with the largest timestamp produced to a partition.
