> Get next offset and handle offset error in KafkaConsumer.MessageCallback
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TWILL-199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TWILL-199
> Project: Apache Twill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Chengfeng Mao
>
> The method {{void onReceived(Iterator<FetchedMessage> messages)}} in
> {{KafkaConsumer.MessageCallback}} can be more flexible with the change to
> {{Long onReceived(Iterator<FetchedMessage> messages)}} so that it can provide
> additional functionalities:
> 1. 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.
