    Btw, doesn't the 
`org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internal.KafkaConsumerThread#setOffsetsToCommit`
 have a race condition on those lines:
    
    
    ```
                // record the work to be committed by the main consumer thread 
and make sure the consumer notices that
                if (nextOffsetsToCommit.getAndSet(offsetsToCommit) != null) {
                        log.warn("Committing offsets to Kafka takes longer than 
the checkpoint interval. " +
                                        "Skipping commit of previous offsets 
because newer complete checkpoint offsets are available. " +
                                        "This does not compromise Flink's 
checkpoint integrity.");
                }
                this.offsetCommitCallback = commitCallback;
    ```
    
    (`getAndSet` followed by `volatile`) with 
`org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internal.KafkaConsumerThread#run`? 
However currently it doesn't seem to be so important, since:
    
    1. it's used only for metrics
    2. and only first `successfulCommits.inc()` can be omitted because of 
that., because (at least now) `offsetCommitCallback` is a `write-once` 
variable, and any subsequent overwrites, are overwriting it to the same value.

>            Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai

>             Fix For: 1.5.0, 1.4.1

>
> The {{FlinkKafkaConsumerBaseTest}} has invalid mocks on a final 
> {{AbstractFetcher::commitInternalOffsetsToKafka(...)}} method. While an easy 
> fix would be to simply make that method non-final, that is not ideal since it 
> would be best that the method is left final to prevent overrides in 
> subclasses.
> This suggests that offset committing functionality is too tightly coupled 
> with the {{AbstractFetcher}}, making it hard to perform concise tests to 
> verify offset committing.
> I suggest that we decouple record fetching and offset committing as separate 
> services behind different interfaces. We should introduce a new interface, 
> say {{KafkaOffsetCommitter}}, and test against that instead. Initially, we 
> can simply let {{AbstractFetcher}} implement {{KafkaOffsetCommitter}}.
