Hugo Louro commented on STORM-2914:
-----------------------------------
[~kabhwan] I am OK with supporting only at-most-once or at-least-once. Do you
know how other frameworks deal with Kafka auto.commit mode? If they don't allow
it altogether then Storm would be in an equal playing field and performance
would not matter much at that point in my opinion. It will simply become a
feature that is not supported.
As far as the WARN level, initially when I created the PR with that change I
had it with level DEBUG and I never felt that it should be WARN to begin with.
During reviews someone asked for it to be WARN and I did it, but never felt it
should be WARN, and I still don't think it should be.

> The enable.auto.commit option causes the KafkaConsumer to periodically commit
> the latest offsets it has returned from poll(). It is convenient for use
> cases where messages are polled from Kafka and processed synchronously, in a
> loop.
> Due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2913 we'd really like to
> store some metadata in Kafka when the spout commits. This is not possible
> with enable.auto.commit. I took at look at what that setting actually does,
> and it just causes the KafkaConsumer to call commitAsync during poll (and
> during a few other operations, e.g. close and assign) with some interval.
> Ideally I'd like to get rid of ProcessingGuarantee.NONE, since I think
> ProcessingGuarantee.AT_MOST_ONCE covers the same use cases, and is likely
> almost as fast. The primary difference between them is that AT_MOST_ONCE
> commits synchronously.
> If we really want to keep ProcessingGuarantee.NONE, I think we should make
> our ProcessingGuarantee.NONE setting cause the spout to call commitAsync
> after poll, and never use the enable.auto.commit option. This allows us to
> include metadata in the commit.
