Hi,

Can use kafkacat that commit message sent manually to the broker? I want use in fail over use case, and how can get last location in log when my process that use kafkacat, crashed.

That's currently not possible but could be added. Can you give an example how you would like to use this feature?

I want to develop a microservice platform by Node.js and kafka. librdkafka is the best choose for this work. that is written in C with a good performance. but my goal is take away from the complexity of a C program. the kafkacat is a CLI tools that can run in a Node program with ease of use. the ability of trace the log is a important requirement in my project. after read the help of kafkacat i see the -o stored in consume services can be a good candidate for this case. but the manually commit the log has a high level of assurance. sorry for my English.

I think you might want to consider using node-rdkafka which wraps librdkafka.
