Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-236:
-------------------------------

 To reset the offset, under the cover, we use getLastestOffsetBefore(), which supports an arbitrary starting timestamp, in addition to smallest and largest. However, getLastestOffsetBefore has a very coarse granularity at this moment. It only returns the offset of the first message in a log segment file based on its last modified time. So, depending on the log segment size, this may or may not be good enough for some applications.

> Add the possibilty to specify a delay in ms which would be used when resetting offset.
> This would allow for example a client to specify it would like its offset to be reset to the first offset before/after the current time - the given offset.
