--------------------------------------

             Summary: Consumer#offsetsForTimes should not return null value
                 Key: KAFKA-17826
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17826
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai

The map returned by Consumer#offsetsForTimes can have null value if the specific timestamp is not mapped to any offset. That is a anti-pattern due to following reasons.

1. most java11+ collection can't accept null value
2. the other similar methods in consumer does not do that
3. admin does not do that
