How to get message from a kafka topic with a specific offset

Question

We have an HDP cluster with 3 kafka brokers ( from hortonworks )

We want to run kafka console consumer in order to get one message from topic with specific offset

/usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper zoo01:2181  --topic lopet.lo.pm--partition 0 --offset 34537263 --max-messages 1

But we get the following:

Where we are wrong?

Using the ConsoleConsumer with old consumer is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Consider using the new consumer by passing [bootstrap-server] instead of [zookeeper].
Partition-offset based consumption is supported in the new consumer only.
Option                                   Description
------                                   -----------
--blacklist <blacklist>                  Blacklist of topics to exclude from
                                           consumption.
--bootstrap-server <server to connect    REQUIRED (unless old consumer is
  to>                                      used): The server to connect to.
--consumer-property <consumer_prop>      A mechanism to pass user-defined
                                           properties in the form key=value to
                                           the consumer.
--consumer.config <config file>          Consumer config properties file. Note
                                           that [consumer-property] takes
                                           precedence over this config.
--csv-reporter-enabled                   If set, the CSV metrics reporter will
                                           be enabled
--delete-consumer-offsets                If specified, the consumer path in
                                           zookeeper is deleted when starting up
--enable-systest-events                  Log lifecycle events of the consumer
                                           in addition to logging consumed
                                           messages. (This is specific for
                                           system tests.)
--formatter <class>                      The name of a class to use for
                                           formatting kafka messages for
                                           display. (default: kafka.tools.
                                           DefaultMessageFormatter)
--from-beginning                         If the consumer does not already have
                                           an established offset to consume
                                           from, start with the earliest
                                           message present in the log rather
                                           than the latest message.
--key-deserializer <deserializer for
  key>
--max-messages <Integer: num_messages>   The maximum number of messages to
                                           consume before exiting. If not set,
                                           consumption is continual.
--metrics-dir <metrics directory>        If csv-reporter-enable is set, and
                                           this parameter isset, the csv
                                           metrics will be outputed here
--new-consumer                           Use the new consumer implementation.
                                           This is the default.
--offset <consume offset>                The offset id to consume from (a non-
                                           negative number), or 'earliest'
                                           which means from beginning, or
                                           'latest' which means from end
                                           (default: latest)

Answer 1

Partition-offset based consumption is supported in the new consumer only.

kafka-console-consumer should use --bootstrap-server, as the warning mentioned.

And you are missing a space before --partition

But otherwise, --partition x --offset y is correct.

Full command

kafka-console-consumer \
  --bootstrap-server kafka0:9092 \
  --topic lopet.lo.pm \
  --partition 0 \
  --offset 34537263 \
  --max-messages 1

Using kafkacat is another option, if you want to install it
