Description

Hello,

Would it be possible to include a metric to report the minimum message offset for each topic/partition? This would mirror the LogEndOffset which is already provided.

There's also a Size metric that's provided; however, this gives us the size of a topic/partition in bytes so I'm unable to calculate the Starting/beginning message offset based on the end offset.

I've attached a patch I used with kafka 0.8.1 to expose this metric.

Thanks,
Alex
