Jungtaek Lim commented on STORM-2914:
-------------------------------------

Whatever we decide, it may be better to document such guide so that we could 
let users to be aware of any effects when enabling such option.

> Remove enable.auto.commit support from storm-kafka-client

> 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.
