title: Kafka: Fetch offset is out of range for partition. How to avoid data loss?
body: <pre><code>Fetcher INFO : Fetch offset .... is out of range for partition ..., resetting offset 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Trying to understand what happens when this happens.
  If offset we are trying to to read is missing (I assume because of kafka GC'ed the offet) and <code>auto.offset.reset = latest</code> do we skip over data to the latest offset?</p>
  
  <p>What is the safe configuration to avoid data loss?</p>
