Consumer Offset Commit Strategies

The video tutorial discusses two common strategies for committing offsets in a consumer application: enabling autocommit and manually committing offsets. The first strategy, autocommit equals true, is the default and involves synchronous processing of batches. However, it can be risky if asynchronous processing is used, as offsets may be committed before data is processed. The second strategy, autocommit equals false, allows for manual control over when offsets are committed, providing more control and reducing risk. The tutorial provides examples and pseudocode to illustrate these strategies.
