I am working on a project where I need to fetch and process specific messages from a Kafka topic outside of the Kafka consumer. I want to be able to handle requests for specific messages and process them independently, without waiting for the messages to be consumed in sequential order.

I want to understand whether overall Kafka structure is considered event driven or both event driven + polling based.

I’m using newest version of Spring Kakfa, 3.1.3, and it seems some recent changes in exception handling is making me confused.
