The ConsumerRebalanceListener lets you handle partition assignments and revocations during rebalances. This is critical for managing offsets, stateful processing, or external transactions.

From Kafka Consumer Rebalance Docs:

“Implementing ConsumerRebalanceListener allows your application to take action before and after partitions are reassigned.”

A is true: It lets your app react when partitions assigned to the consumer change.

B, C, and D are unrelated to consumer rebalancing directly.

To send failed records to a dead letter queue (DLQ), you must configure:

errors.tolerance=all: Tells the connector to not fail on errors but handle them (e.g., send to DLQ).

errors.deadletterqueue.topic.name=DLQ-Topic: Specifies the DLQ topic.

errors.deadletterqueue.context.headers.enable=true: Includes error context in message headers.

From Kafka Connect Error Handling Docs:

“Kafka Connect supports directing problematic records to a separate topic (DLQ) using errors.* configs. Headers can include failure metadata.”

Options D, E, F are related to logging, not DLQ behavior.

The offset in the RecordMetadata object returned by the producer represents the position of the record in the partition — i.e., the sequential ID assigned by Kafka once the message is committed.

From Kafka Producer API Documentation:

“The offset is the position of the record in the partition. This is a unique, sequential number assigned by the broker.”

D refers to metadata.partition(), not offset().

B and C are unrelated to how Kafka handles committed offsets.
