> Improve Offset Commit Behavior
> ------------------------------

> Priority: Major

> There are two scenarios of offset committing that we can improve:
> 1) we can filter the partitions whose committed offset is equal to the
> consumed offset, meaning there is no new consumed messages from this
> partition and hence we do not need to include this partition in the commit
> request.
> 2) we can make a commit request right after resetting to a fetch / consume
> position either according to the reset policy (e.g. on consumer starting up,
> or handling of out of range offset, etc), or through the {code} seek {code}
> so that if the consumer fails right after these event, upon recovery it can
> restarts from the reset position instead of resetting again: this can lead
> to, for example, data loss if we use "largest" as reset policy while there
> are new messages coming to the fetching partitions.
