> As discussed with Joel offline, today the offset commit response contains an error code for each partition, but the error code will almost always be the same across all partitions. Offset commits for a given consumer instance in a consumer group all go to the same partition of the offsets topic. So there are only two known cases when we may want it to be different: (i) some partitions may have very large metadata leading to a metadata-size-too-large error (ii) if we don't use compression (which will be the case until we have KAFKA-1374) there could be partial appends. Given that: item (ii) is a corner case and if we use compression (which we will turn on by default once KAFKA-1374 is done) item (i) will be eliminated; and that item (i) will be easier to handle by just failing the whole request and sending back a single error code (of metadata too large); we can just have a single error-code in the response.
> Note that this will be a protocol change and hence we need to bump up the response version number.
