    @tdas I think as long as marmbrus' PR to remove comparable from the 
interface works for sane variations of subscription changes it's the best way 
to go.  I'm honestly fine with someone getting what they deserve if they delete 
and recreate a topic in the space of a single batch or while a stream is down.

    This isn't so much a temporal thing, as a let the consumer do its job 
thing.  This sort of configuration should ideally be handled by 
auto.offset.reset, and we shouldn't bake in too much second guessing about it.  
There's plenty of use case for "I want to be able to add a topicpartition mid 
stream, but I don't want to start it from the beginning."
    
    > Are you proposing users have to type
    
    I'm saying that you guys proposed json as a workaround for the 
string->string thing.  Given that, yeah, I think consistency in using json for 
any non-scalar values is worth 2 extra characters per topic and 4 at the ends.
