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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
