> It would be nice for the OffsetFetchRequest API to have the option to initialize offsets instead of returning unknown_topic_or_partition. It could mimic the Offsets API by adding the "time" field and then follow the same code path on the server as the Offset API. 
> In this case, the response would need to a boolean to indicate if the returned offset was initialized or fetched from ZK.
> This would simplify the client logic when dealing with new topics.
