I'm using flink streaming and flink-connector-kafka to process data from kafka. when I configure FlinkKafkaConsumer010 with setStartFromTimestamp(1586852770000L) , at this time, all data's time in kafka topic A is before 1586852770000L, then I send some message to partition-0 and partition-4 of Topic A (Topic A has 6 partitions, current system time is already after 1586852770000L). but my flink program doesn't consume any data from Topic A. So is this a issue?
if I stop my flink program and restart it, it can consume data from partition-0 and partition-4 of Topic A , but still won't consume any data from other 4 partitions if i send data to the other 4 partitions unless i restart my flink program again.
the log of kafka is as follows:

from the log, except partition-0 and partition-4, other 4 partition's offset is -1. why the return offset is -1 instead of the lastest offset?
in Kafka client's code( Fetcher.java,line: 674-680)
// Handle v1 and later response
log.debug("Handling ListOffsetResponse response for {}. Fetched offset {}, timestamp {}",topicPartition, partitionData.offset, partitionData.timestamp);
if (partitionData.offset != ListOffsetResponse.UNKNOWN_OFFSET) {
OffsetData offsetData = new OffsetData(partitionData.offset, partitionData.timestamp);
timestampOffsetMap.put(topicPartition, offsetData);
}
the value of ListOffsetResponse.UNKNOWN_OFFSET is -1 . So the other 4 partitions is filtered , and the kafka consumer will not consume data from the other 4 partitions.
My Flink version is 1.9.2 and flink kafka connertor is
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-connector-kafka-0.10_2.11</artifactId>
<version>1.9.2</version>
</dependency>
the doc of flink kafka connector is as follows:
setStartFromTimestamp(long): Start from the specified timestamp. For each partition, the record whose timestamp is larger than or equal to the specified timestamp will be used as the start position. If a partition’s latest record is earlier than the timestamp, the partition will simply be read from the latest record.
