Question about auto committing

If I am using auto commit - is there a chance that a message will be committed when I haven’t actually handled it?

eg

await consumer.run({
    eachMessage: async ({ topic, partition, message }) => {
       await takeaverylongtimeifever()
  }
)

could messages get auto committed before takeaverylongtimeifever is done?

This seems to be resolved for now, so I’m going to close this. Feel free to re-open it if you run into any issues.

@gilesbradshaw, the consumer won’t commit in 2 cases:

1. user code throws an error (takeaverylongtimeifever throws)
2. the session times out, so the consumer has to rejoin the group

In general, you are in control. If you throw inside eachMessage it will interrupt the auto-commit
