Due to KAFKA-7556, the messages count is not currently accurate on compacted topics. It will never be exact but it can be improved. On compacted topics, the first offset taken into account to compute the counter is always 0, even after compaction.
Using KafkaConsumer.offsetsForTimes with 0L as timestamp instead KafkaConsumer.beginningOffsets to get the first offset solves the issue.
