Viktor Somogyi commented on KAFKA-7703:
---------------------------------------
[~zsxwing], [~dongjoon], I've looked into the issue and it seems there is no
easy fix for this in the code as it designed to be async, so it might take some
time. Even if we make the method atomic the offset reset that arrives later
will be discarded as the first reset nulls out the resetStrategy in
SubscriptionState which triggers the {{else if
(!subscriptions.isOffsetResetNeeded(partition)}}
[check|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/Fetcher.java#L579]
to skip the offset reset.
In the current situation you could put a {{position}} call between {{poll}} and
{{seekToEnd}} as it blocks until {{poll}} returns or some error happens.
> KafkaConsumer.position may return a wrong offset after "seekToEnd" is called
