   Hi @kirktrue - It was clearly documented why LegacyKafkaConsumer would do 
this, maybe it is because in some scenarios users want to update the position 
but actually don't care about the offset results.  This is the snippet from the 
LegacyKafkaConsumer code:
   ```
             // if timeout is set to zero, do not try to poll the network 
client at all
               // and return empty immediately; otherwise try to get the 
results synchronously
               // and throw timeout exception if it cannot complete in time
               if (timer.timeoutMs() == 0L)
                   return result;
   ```
