@srdo Yes, in the case that the failed tuple is not the first message in
the batch since the last committed offset things worked fine how they were
previously.
I agree. Honestly, the idea of auto commit mode seems to go against the
philosophy of storm's processing guarantees. Putting the offsets that need to
be retried in memory isn't enough in the case of restarts. I propose we address
auto commit mode in a separate PR. Sound alright?
