Thanks for the review!

Updated the KIP to include the `isEmpty` method in the transaction index

> 6
You're right. The offset parameter will be equal to the
next-segment-to-consider base offset.
But, the API introduced in RLMM is for *one* epoch. The next epoch
start-offset may not be
the base-offset. You can refer to this line
<https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/17659/files#diff-380e4d8859ea9148f21794c09039425c82d9012a392c2dbbe1ce2ec8677a1970R1857>
in the draft PR.
