I would put this differently: "auto.offset.reset" policy is only used,
if there are no valid committed offsets for a topic.

See here:
http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/apache-kafka/5449/consumer-groups
- -and-offset-management

(don't be confused about "earliest/latest" and "smallest/larges" --
the former is for Kafka 0.8.2 and the later for 0.9+ -- but the
mechanism is the same)

But I though, Flink does not rely on consumer offsets commits but does
"manual" offset management? So I am wondering, if this property is
passed into the Kafka source operator's Kafka consumer or not?
