`kafka-avro-console-consumer` missing options

[Tianxiang Xiong]

For Confluent Platform 3.1.1, `kafka-console-consumer` has `--partition` and `--offset` options, but `kafka-avro-console-consumer` does not.

--offset <consume offset>               The offset id to consume from (a non-

                                          negative number), or 'earliest'

                                          which means from beginning, or

                                          'latest' which means from end

                                          (default: latest)

--partition <Integer: partition>        The partition to consume from.

 Is there some technical reason for this, or has `kafka-avro-console-consumer` simply not been updated?

kafka-avro-console-consumer runs the same class as kafka-console-consumer, so their options should be identical. The avro version is just a helper that sets a few default values to work with Avro so you don't have to specify them every time you run the tool.

I just double checked and those options are listed when I run kafka-avro-console-consumer from 3.1.1. Is it possible you're running it from a different version or just overlooked the option?

You're right.

I just checked another of our environments and the `kafka-avro-console-consumer` does, in fact, have these options. This indicates that the environment I was in is in a bad state.
