> Key: KAFKA-1637
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1637
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: consumer, core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1, 0.8.1.1
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Amir Malekpour

> This concerns Kafka's Offset Fetch API:
> According to Kafka's current documentation, "if there is no offset associated
> with a topic-partition under that consumer group the broker does not set an
> error code (since it is not really an error), but returns empty metadata and
> sets the offset field to -1." (Link below)
> However, in Kafka 08.1.1 Error code '3' is returned, which effectively makes
> it impossible for the client to decide if there was an error, or if there is
> no offset associated with a topic-partition under that consumer group.
