This enhancement adds configurable data loss detection to Kafka consumers to prevent silent data loss scenarios. The feature integrates with existing auto.offset.reset strategies to provide enhanced fault tolerance capabilities, including detection of silent data loss from retention policies, service disruptions from topic recreation, and sophisticated edge case handling.

Hi @mohittambi ! This kind of change would require a KIP (introducing a new client configuration enable.data.loss.detection and related user-facing changes).

You can take a look at the KIP process https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/kafka/kafka+improvement+proposals and take it from there. Thanks for your interest!
