With "subscribing", it sounds like we are only concerned with the time while the consumer is actually making its subscription. An alternative might be "where the consumer subscribes to a topic". ########## clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/ConsumerRebalanceListener.java: ########## @@ -119,15 +119,15 @@ public interface ConsumerRebalanceListener { /** - * A callback method the user can implement to provide handling of offset commits to a customized store. + * A callback method the user can implement to provide handling of offset commits **sent to** a customized store Review Comment: Also, I wonder whether this first sentence is really giving a common example of what the callback might do.
