Consumer group reassignment of offset not working

[SrikarSaggurthi]

Describe the bug
For an existing consumer group with stored offsets, resetting the offset to the latest is not working, it still reads from the stored offset.

To Reproduce

1. First, have to set up a consumer group (say test) and run for a few messages and commit those offsets. .kfk.Sub[client;topicName;(enlist 6h$1)!(enlist .kfk.OFFSET.STORED)];

2. Now restart the process and assign a specific partition and latest offset with same group test .kfk.Sub[client;topicName;(enlist 6h$1)!(enlist .kfk.OFFSET.END)];`

Expected behavior
It should only start reading if there are new messages in `topicName, however it starts reading from the last committed offset.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: linux 2.6
• KDB+ banner information KDB+ 3.6 2019.09.19
• .kfk.Version : 16842992i

Additional context
relevant config parmater "auto.offset.reset:latest"

The partition is ignored at subscribe as described here.

Maybe you can assign a new offset for the consumer with .kfk.assignOffsets or .kafka.assignNewOffsetsToTopicPartition.

.kafka.subscribe[consumer;topic1];
.kafka.subscribe[consumer;topic2];
.kafka.assignNewOffsetsToTopicPartition[consumer; ; (1#0i)!1#.kafka.OFFSET_END] each (topic1; topic2);

You can check the behavior with the test_consumer.q example.
