Mayuresh Gharat updated KAFKA-7548:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
In KafkaConsumer, when we do a poll, we fetch data asynchronously from kafka 
brokers that is buffered in completedFetch queue. Now if we pause a few 
partitions, in next call to poll we remove the completedFetches for those 
paused partitions. Normally, if an application is calling pause on 
topicPartitions, it is likely to return to those topicPartitions in near future 
and when it does, with the current design we would have to re-fetch that data.

At Linkedin, we made a hotfix to see if NOT throwing away the prefetched data 
would improve the performance for stream applications like Samza. We ran a 
benchmark were we compared what is the throughput w.r.t to different values of 
maxPollRecords.

We had a consumer subscribed to 10 partitions of a high volume topic and paused 
predefined number partitions for every poll call. The partitions to pause were 
chosen randomly for each poll() call.
 * Time to run Benchmark = 60 seconds.
 * MaxPollRecords = 1
 * Number of TopicPartition subscribed  = 10 

||Number Of Partitions Paused||Number of Records consumed (Before fix)||Number 
of Records consumed (After fix)||
|9|2087|4884693|

We had a consumer subscribed to 10 partitions of a high volume topic and paused 
predefined number partitions for every poll call. The partitions to pause were 
chosen randomly for each poll() call. We ran this benchmark multiple times 
pausing different number for of partitions for each run. Here are the results :

 
 * Time to run Benchmark = 60 seconds.
 * MaxPollRecords = 1
 * Number of TopicPartition subscribed  = 10

*Before fix*

 
||Number Of Partitions Paused||Number of Records consumed||
|0|6424753|
|2|10495|
|4|5004|
|6|3152|
|8|2237|
|9|2087|

 
 *After fix*
||Number Of Partitions Paused||Number of Records consumed||
