Thanks for the review. I think some points you mentioned are already
addressed, actually.
Will add the following:
- `commitSpecificOffsets()` can determine precisely when a commit request
is subsumed by a new one
- Extend test to catch errors from committer thread.
> Kafka consumer must commit offsets asynchronously

> Key: FLINK-4702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4702
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Affects Versions: 1.1.2
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.1.3
>
>
> The offset commit calls to Kafka may occasionally take very long.
> In that case, the {{notifyCheckpointComplete()}} method blocks for long and
> the KafkaConsumer cannot make progress and cannot perform checkpoints.
> Kafka 0.9+ have methods to commit asynchronously.
> We should use those and make sure no more than one commit is concurrently in
> progress, to that commit requests do not pile up.
