Hello Apache Kafka community, Please correct me if wrong, AFAIK currently (Kafka 0.8.2.x) offset management responsibility is mainly client/consumer side responsibility.
Wouldn't it be better if it was broker side only responsibility? E.g. now if one wants to use custom offset management, any of the Kafka monitoring tools cannot see the offsets - they would need to use same custom client implementation which is practically not possible. Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
