>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Connectors / Kafka, Runtime / Metrics
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.2, 1.4.0, 1.5.0

> The {{committedOffset}} metric gauge value is set too early. It is set here:
> https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka-0.9/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/internal/Kafka09Fetcher.java#L236
> This sets the committed offset before the actual commit happens, which varies depending on whether the commit mode is auto periodically, or committed on checkpoints. Moreover, in the 0.9+ consumers, the {{KafkaConsumerThread}} may choose to supersede some commit attempts if the commit takes longer than the commit interval.
> While the committed offset back to Kafka is not a critical value used by the consumer, it will be best to have more accurate values as a Flink-shipped metric.
