> In 0.7.x and earlier versions offsets were assigned by the byte location in
> the file. Because it wasn't possible to directly decompress from the middle
> of a compressed block, messages inside a compressed message set effectively
> had no offset. As a result the offset given to the consumer was always the
> offset of the wrapper message set.
> In 0.8 after the logical offsets patch messages in a compressed set do have
> offsets. However the server still needs to fetch from the beginning of the
> compressed messageset (otherwise it can't be decompressed). As a result a
> commit() which occurs in the middle of a message set will still result in
> some duplicates.
> This can be fixed in the ConsumerIterator by discarding messages smaller than
> the fetch offset rather than giving them to the consumer. This will make
> commit work correctly in the presence of compressed messages (finally).
