Understanding the Simple Consumer

Hi all,

Currently working on building some tools revolving around the Simple
Consumer, and I was wondering if anyone had any good documentation or
examples for it? I am aware that this:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example
exists but it doesn't give any insight on how to actually commit offsets,
and a lot of the API regarding that area is deprecated? Does that mean that
it is no longer that useful to explore the use case of the Simple Consumer?

Furthermore, a lot of the fields used to specify the requests to be made
are slightly ambiguous, so any help would definitely be appreciated! Thanks!
