Review comment:
       Yeah. I thought about doing this but I felt that the implementation was 
very subtle and hard to read. I use this strategy for `private Long append(int 
epoch, List<T> records, boolean isAtomic)` in `KafkaRaftClient` since the 
difference is obvious.
   
   In the `BatchAccumulator` for the "atomic" version we need to calculate the 
total size and allocate a buffer/batch if needed that fits that total size. For 
the non-atomic version we need to allocate a buffer/batch for every record if 
it doesn't fit the current batch.
   
   I'll create a commit for this so you can see the two side by side.
