             Summary: In multi-consumer setup - explicit commit, commits on all 
partitions
                 Key: KAFKA-2025
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2025
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: consumer
    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0
         Environment: 1. Tested in Windows
2. Not tested on Linux

            Reporter: Pradeep G
            Assignee: Neha Narkhede
            Priority: Blocker


In a setup where there are two consumers C1 & C2 belonging to consumer group 
CG, two partitions P1 & P2; with auto-commit disabled.

An explicit commit on ConsumerConnect commits on all the consumers i.e. a 
commit called by C1 commits all messages being processed by other consumers too 
here C2. 

Ideally C1 should be able to commit only those messages it has consumed and not 
what is being processed by C2.  The effect of this behavior is that; suppose C2 
crashes while processing message M after C1 commits, is that message M being 
processed by C2 is not available on recovery and is lost forever; and in kafka 
M is marked as consumed.

I read that this would be addressed in the rewrite - 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Client+Rewrite#ClientRewrite-ConsumerAPI

Any thoughts on which release this would be addressed ?.  A quick response 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pradeep
