This is the main problem:
following the original design pattern, it would be better to place a
`KafkaTopicPartitionStateSentinel` here instead of eagerly converting the
`Date` to a specific offset. We only convert the date to specific offsets when
we're about to start consuming the partition (i.e. in `KafkaConsumer` thread).
