Hello everyone, I understand the concerns over making the API more confusing to new users, but the current implementation<https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1281/files> does not add any new methods to the interface Consumer. It simply adds the pre-existing methods with varargs parameters to the KafkaConsumer class, for backwards compatibility. Since KafkaConsumer isat this point is the only production implementation of the Consumer interface, this change makes it easy to use these methods in existing clients. Furthermore, in addition to the methods not being exposed in the interface, they are marked as @Deprecated.

Hugo posted a patch that only adds these old methods back to KafkaConsumer.java with the deprecated tag. I would like to get this in 0.10 release so that it will help anyone who used new consumer API from 0.9 release. Anyone has any concerns having this patch in. Thanks, -Harsha
