As per KafkaConsumer documentation<https://kafka.apache.org/0100/javadoc/index.html?org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html>:
“ Setting enable.auto.commit=true means that offsets are committed automatically with a frequency controlled by the config auto.commit.interval.ms. “ That means that the Spout disregards if the Tuple is acked or not; every time interval (as controlled by auto.commit.interval.ms ) the offset will be committed. This can have have an impact on the delivery guarantees, because an offset may be committed, yet the tuple may fail.

With auto.commit.enabled = false KafkaSpout will move my offset relying on acked tuples, it seems easy. But what happens if I turn auto commit on? How Kafka make decision which offset to commit?
