Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2409:
----------------------------------------
[~onurkaraman] I would vote to include it now or not do it at all, since it
would break compatibility if we do it later. This might be a bit more natural
if we also include KAFKA-2403, which changes the signature to:
{code}
public OffsetAndMetadata committed(TopicPartition partition);
{code}
> Have KafkaConsumer.committed() return null when there is no committed offset
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Currently checking whether an offset has been committed requires catching
> NoOffsetForPartitionException. Since this is likely a fairly common case, it
> is more convenient for users just to return null.
