You might be correct. But my understanding for best practice with Kafka is to specifically commit offsets when you're certain you've finished processing a message.
For example, if Sarama auto commits the offset but I've failed to persist the message, I'll have to manually seek the missed offset. However, if I don't commit until I know I've persisted it, it will be replayed to the consumer by Kafka within the topic's retention period. I've worked on a couple Kafka implementations and this seems to be how it's done.
Would like to know if that's actually the best way to go though
