Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1634:
--------------------------------
One use case is that if a client never wants the offset to be garbage collected
on the broker, it can set timestamp to be max long.
> Update protocol wiki to reflect the new offset management feature

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1634
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Neha Narkhede

>
>
> From the mailing list -
> following up on this -- I think the online API docs for OffsetCommitRequest
> still incorrectly refer to client-side timestamps:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol#AGuideToTheKafkaProtocol-OffsetCommitRequest
> Wasn't that removed and now always handled server-side now? Would one of
> the devs mind updating the API spec wiki?
