Hello Apache Kafka community, I find new consumer poll/seek javadoc a bit confusing. Just by reading docs I'm not sure what the outcome will be, what is expected in following scenario:
- kafkaConsumer is instantiated with auto-commit off - kafkaConsumer.subscribe(someTopic) - kafkaConsumer.position is called for every TopicPartition HLC is actively subscribed on and then when doing multiple poll calls in succession (without calling commit), does seek have to be called in between poll calls to position HLC to skip what was read in previous poll, or does HLC keep that state (position after poll) in memory, so that next poll (without seek in between two poll calls) will continue from where last poll stopped? Could be it's just me not understanding this from javadoc. If not, maybe javadoc can be improved to make this (even) more obvious. Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
