Description

KIP-122 added the ability for kafka-consumer-groups.sh to reset/change consumer offsets, at a fine grained level.

There is documentation on it in the kafka-consumer-groups.sh usage text.

There is no such documentation on the kafka.apache.org website. We should add some documentation to the website, so that users can read about the functionality without having the tools installed.
