Thank you for your attention and reply. Here are my reply to your questions:

1. If strategy=safe_latest and there is not committed offset, whether the group 
is newly started is determined in this way: when the group is started, a 
timestamp "createTimeStamp" will be passed as the start time of the group. When 
the offset needs to be reset, the timestamp will be added to 
"ListOffsetsRequest" as a new field. The server compares the timestamp 
"createTimeStamp" with the timestamp "logStartTime", which is the first message 
time for each partition. If "createTimeStamp" "greater than "logStartTime" 
means that the group is newly started for this partition and consumed from the 
latest, otherwise it means that the partition is newly expanded and needs to be 
consumed from the earliest. For details, you can see related jira and pr.



2. Strictly speaking, nearest is not a level strategy with 
earlyliest/latest/safe_latest/earliest_on_start/latest_on_start. It is more 
like an auxiliary strategy, which is only dealt with out-of-range. So if you 
set nearest.offset.reset=true, no matter what strategy "auto.offset.reset" is 
set to, it will be performed according to the strategy of nearest when 
out-of-range (to the earliest if it was under the range , or to the latest if 
it was over the range), and for the case where no committed offset, nearest 
will naturally have no effect, instead, it is determined by the main 
strategy(auto.offset.reset).




3. This I have added to the form of module "Proposed Changes" in kip-842.




4. The meaning of nearest.offset.reset has been clearly expressed in point 2, 
this configuration is disabled default, that is to say, when out-of-range, 
reset strategy is performed according to the main strategy (auto.offset.reset).
