As per https://docs.pinot.apache.org/basics/data-import/pinot-stream-ingestion

stream.[streamType].consumer.prop.auto.offset.reset

determines the offset from which to start the ingestion

smallest

largest

or timestamp in milliseconds

However, it doesn’t seem to take a timestamp?

timestamp is not supported as of now. We have the wiring to handle it, but the kafka plugin needs to be edited to understand it. There’s an open issue for it: https://github.com/apache/pinot/issues/7250

Yeah that’s my understanding too from reading the code. Guess the docs should be updated then before this can be supported
