[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-5052) We shouldn't pass the underlying exception to RetriableCommitFailedException when an async offset commit fails.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5052?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Apurva Mehta updated KAFKA-5052:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
* This is a follow up to : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3527

We currently wrap retriable exceptions encountered during offset commits in a `RetriableOffsetCommitException`. The problem is that today we also pass the underlying internal exception on to the user. There isn't a really good reason to do this, since the user will not handle each individual exception differently: they will just retry anyway.

We should not pass on the underlying internal exception. It makes the API simpler, and also allows us to change things underneath with more flexibility.
