OffsetCommit: Use the new broker offset request response for storing offsets

[joestein]

0.8.1.1 release is out would be cool to use broker to store offsets off to zookeeper https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol#AGuideToTheKafkaProtocol-OffsetCommit/FetchAPI

master branch currently supports OffsetRequest and OffsetResponse.
Enable by setting offset.store.method=broker.

Full support for the new non-zk consumer group balancing will be available during the summer, most likely.

Hello,the rdkafka still have't the function of consumer group ?

[edenhill]

The full non-ZK support for consumer groups is scheduled for Apache Kafka 0.9 which is probably a couple of months out.
librdkafka will support it when Kafka 0.9 is released.

There will not be support for ZK-based consumer groups in librdkafka, but it can be implemented by the application on top of librdkafka and libzookeeper for the needy.

Fixed on master
