KAFKA-2486; fix performance regression in new consumer The sleep() in KafkaConsumer's poll blocked any pending IO from being completed and created a performance bottleneck. It was intended to implement the fetch backoff behavior, but that was a misunderstanding of the setting "retry.backoff.ms" which should only affect failed fetches.
