 To avoid any possibility of losing messages, the template only commits offsets when there are zero requests outstanding, i.e. when the last outstanding request is released by the release strategy.
 After a rebalance, it is possible for duplicate reply deliveries; these will be ignored for any in-flight requests; you may see error log messages when duplicate replies are received for already released replies.
 
+NOTE: If you use an <<error-handling-deserializer,`ErrorHandlingDeserializer`>> with this aggregating template, the framework will not automatically detect `DeserializationException` s.
+Instead, the record (with a `null` value) will be returned intact, with the deserialization exception(s) in headers.
+It is recommended that applications call the utility method `ReplyingKafkaTemplate.checkDeserialization()` method to determine if a deserialization exception occurred.
+See its javadocs for more information.
