To return the next offset to be fetched > 2. To handle offset non-existence or offset mismatch error and take action on > the error > This method will return null for backward compatibility when it doesn't need > to provide the next offset. > In concrete implementation, a class of a new interface > {{KafkaOffsetProvider}} can be added as a member in > {{KafkaConsumer.MessageCallback}} to perform the offset error handling and > provide the next offset. Besides, {{KafkaOffsetProvider}} also has methods to > provide the following functionalities: > 1. To fetch earliest/latest offset in Kafka > 2. To find the offset of a message with timestamp equal to the given > timestamp in Kafka > For backward compatibility, if {{KafkaOffsetProvider}} instance is not > provided, its default value will be null and none of its methods will be > called. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
