             Summary: New Consumer metric for records/bytes committed
                 Key: KAFKA-12595
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12595
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: consumer
            Reporter: A. Sophie Blee-Goldman


The current {records/bytes}-consumed-rate metrics are useful to determine the 
actual rate of consumption, but I've seen these be misinterpreted to mean the 
number/size of records actually _processed_ -- in general these should be the 
same but if a consumer drops out of the group, a consumed record will not be 
committed and upon rejoin this same record will be re-consumed. This means the 
actual rate of processing will be lower than the X-consumed-rate metric.

We should consider adding a records-committed-rate and bytes-committed-rate 
metric for users who are interested in the actual processing rate, eg as an 
indication of "real" throughput
