> Even after kafka-698 is fixed, we still see consumer clients occasionally see
> uncommitted data. The following is how this can happen.
> 1. In Log.read(), we pass in startOffset < HW and maxOffset = HW.
> 2. Then we call LogSegment.read(), in which we call translateOffset on the
> maxOffset. The offset doesn't exist and translateOffset returns null.
> 3. Continue in LogSegment.read(), we then call messageSet.sizeInBytes() to
> fetch and return the data.
> What can happen is that between step 2 and step 3, a new message is appended
> to the log and is not committed yet. Now, we have exposed uncommitted data to
> the client.
