That doesn't look right. That change makes the if statement there
meaningless. That method should just be removed, and the other getOffset method
should be changed to:
```
public static long getOffset(SimpleConsumer consumer, String topic, int
partition, Long startOffsetTime) {
if(startOffsetTime==null) startOffsetTime =
kafka.api.OffsetRequest.LatestTime();
// the rest the same
```
