Another example of a problem: when I start / restart during testing it seems that consumers are not automatically de-registering after dying. This means that messages are being sent to the now-dead consumers instead of the active consumer, so the active consumer just sits there silently.
I set KAFKA_LOG_RETENTION_BYTES
in the Docker Compose just now as test to see whether that improved Kafka performance. Seems like what we may want here. The alternative is setting retention by hours.
Task
Description
We're using Kafka for managing our data streams, but right now we're just using whatever comes out of the box from kafkajs, without much clarity on exactly how it works and how we interact with it.
Specifically:
fromBeginning
that probably defaults to false, but we should confirm).I don't know what code will come out of this issue, but I suspect we have some configurations to make (at the very least to our kafka service + documentation).

This will likely impact how we interact with kafka in the countertop, so #23 is a related issue.
