Is 'kafka.time.offset' a time or data volume?

I found a configuration parameter 'kafka.time.offset' with the value '140000000'. Is this number representing time or data volume? The annotation for this parameter is 'Specify the offset in seconds from a certain point of time.'

  • The 'kafka.time.offset' parameter represents time.
  • The value '140000000' is the offset in seconds from a certain point of time.
  • It is used as a timestamp sent via Kafka API.
  • More information can be found in the Rust rdkafka documentation.
