kafka-offset-mgr's Issues

Tool not working as expected

Hi @serejja,

I'm trying to use the utility (in kafka 0.10.2), exactly how you instructed, in order to set a new offset as follows:
kafka-offset-mgr set -b localhost:9092 -g my_consumer_group -t my_topic -p 0 -o 123456

Although I can no error message, the only line printed in stdout is:
[INFO] Refreshing metadata for topics []

Afterwards, running:
bin/kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --describe --group my_consumer_group

Shows nothing was changed in current offset.
Any ideas?

Feature request: support authentication

This is an awesome tool, but currently it does not appear to support kafka brokers which require authentication mechanisms such as kerberos. It would be even more awesome if we could use it to talk to a kerberized Kafka cluster.
