zookeeper-less offset management

Hi list,

I was under the impression that consumers still needed to interact with
zookeeper to track their offset. Going through recent Jiras to track the
progress I see that https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1000 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1012 seem to indicate that
offset tracking is now supported by brokers.

Does this mean that pending support in client libraries, everything is
good to go to part with the ZK dependency ? If so this is awesome news
for the non-JVM world, I don't know how I missed it. I suppose this also
means a pure-Java consumer lib should not be too far off, or is
additional functionality needed ?

Cheers,
  - pyr
