Vahid Hashemian commented on KAFKA-6184:
----------------------------------------
[~huxi_2b] For next time, could you please ask the current assignee of the JIRA
(and wait a few days in case there is no response) before reassigning to
yourself? I believe that's the unofficial rule the Kafka community goes by.
Thanks.

> Currently, the consumer reports a metric of the lag between the high
> watermark of a log and the consumer offset. It will be useful to report a
> similar lag metric between the consumer offset and the start offset of the
> log. If this latter lag gets close to 0, it's an indication that the consumer
> may lose data soon.
