The {{LOG.trace}} block just before this addition should be inside of the 
{{else}} clause that's added, because currently in the "reset to start" case 
we're effectively duplicating the TRACE messages.

After the above, the {{LOG.trace}} message provided when we seek to the start 
should include in the why ("original and current positions match") that we got 
a malformed edit.

With those two changes and the long line from checkstyle corrected, I'm +1.

> Every time we call {{ProtobufLogReader#readNext}} we consume the input stream 
> associated to the {{FSDataInputStream}} from the WAL that we are reading. 
> Under certain conditions, e.g. when using the encryption at rest 
> ({{CryptoInputStream}}) the stream can return partial data which can cause a 
> premature EOF that cause {{inputStream.getPos()}} to return to the same 
> origina position causing {{ProtobufLogReader#readNext}} to re-try over the 
> reads until the WAL is rolled.
> The side effect of this issue is that {{ReplicationSource}} can get stuck 
> until the WAL is rolled and causing replication delays up to an hour in some 
> cases.
