Swapnil Ghike updated KAFKA-987:
--------------------------------
Attachment: kafka-987.patch
The only case wherein the code does not have a bug and yet the consumer could
end up consuming from an offset < the previously committed offset is when there
is an unclean leader election. Hence, this patch will commit new offsets as
long as they are different from the previously committed offsets.
> Avoid checkpointing offsets in Kafka consumer that have not changed since the
> last commit
