Hi hudeqi,

thanks for the KIP.

For the purpose of monitoring if partitions of a topic are used "fairly",
the log end offset metric offers a good hint.
Of course, it only expresses a message count, not bytes, but I find it
sufficient and do not need the actual throughput per partition.
Perhaps the KIP could detail a use case for which monitoring different LOE
rates is not good enough.
