    "Otherwise" means, when failOnDataLoss is false but not some illegal state? 
its confusing. 
    
    Rather just rewrite it as
    When `failOnDataLoss` is `true`, this will either return record at offset 
if available, or throw exception.
    When `failOnDataLoss` is `false`, this will either return record at offset 
if available, or return the next earliest available record < untilOffset, or 
null. It will not throw any exception.
