    No, I don't think so. The tuples need to be both failed and ready for retry 
for this to be true, and if it's true, the consumer will seek back to the last 
committed offset on the relevant topic partitions. The consumer pause in 
doSeekRetriableTopicPartitions ensures that we don't get messages for the 
partitions that don't have failed tuples. maxPollRecords then caps how far past 
the commit offset we can read on those partitions. If the same tuples are 
always failing, we'll never get more than maxPollRecords from the commit offset 
on those partitions as far as I can tell.
