> We have a use case that user wants to know how far it is behind a particular partition on startup. Currently in each fetch response, we have high watermark for each partition, we only keep a global max-lag metric. It would be better that we keep a record of high watermark per partition and update it on each fetch response. We can add a new API to let user query the high watermark.
