Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-2076:
------------------------------------
This functionality and the edge cases that [~jkreps] mentioned was part of the
motivation behind KIP-17:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-17+-+Add+HighwaterMarkOffset+to+OffsetFetchResponse
Perhaps the title of that KIP should be made more generic, and the content
adjusted, and the discussion around this can happen there?
> Add an API to new consumer to allow user get high watermark of partitions.

> We have a use case that user wants to know how far it is behind a particular
> partition on startup. Currently in each fetch response, we have high
> watermark for each partition, we only keep a global max-lag metric. It would
> be better that we keep a record of high watermark per partition and update it
> on each fetch response. We can add a new API to let user query the high
> watermark.
