title: Kafka Streams error - Offset commit failed on partition, request timed out
body: <p>We use Kafka Streams for consuming, processing and producing messages, and on PROD env we faced with errors on multiple topics:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.ConsumerCoordinator - [Consumer clientId=app-xxx-StreamThread-3-consumer, groupId=app] 
  Offset commit failed on partition xxx-1 at offset 13920: 
  The request timed out.[]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>These errors occur rarely for topics with small load, but for topics with high load (and spikes) errors occur dozens of times a day per topic. Topics have multiple partitions (e.g. 10). Seems this issue does not affect processing of data (despite performance), as after throwing exception (even could be multiple errors for the same offset), consumer later re-read message and successfully process it.</p>
  
  <p>I see that this error message appeared in <code>kafka-clients</code> version <code>1.0.0</code> due to <a href="https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/6896f1ddb7650f42630aef8c67c8b61866e9fc00#diff-e9c1ee46a19a8684d9d8d8a8c77f9005" rel="noreferrer">PR</a>, but in previous <code>kafka-clients</code> versions for the same use case (<code>Errors.REQUEST_TIMED_OUT</code> on consumer) similar message (<code>Offset commit for group {} failed: {}</code>) was logged with <code>debug</code> level. 
  as for me, it would be more logical to update log level to warning for such use case.</p>
  
  <p>How to fix this issue? What could be the root cause? Maybe changing consumer properties or partition setup could help to get rid of such issue.</p>
  
  <p>we use the following implementation for creating Kafka Streams:</p>
  
  <pre><code>StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();
  KStream&lt;String, String&gt; stream = builder.&lt;String, String&gt;stream(topicName);
  stream.foreach((key, value) -&gt; processMessage(key, value));
  Topology topology = builder.build();
  StreamsConfig streamsConfig = new StreamsConfig(consumerSettings);
  new KafkaStreams(streamsTopology, streamsConfig);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>our Kafka consumer settings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bootstrap.servers: xxx1:9092,xxx2:9092,...,xxx5:9092
  application.id: app
  state.dir: /tmp/kafka-streams/xxx
  commit.interval.ms: 5000       # also I tried default value 30000
  key.serde: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes$StringSerde
  value.serde: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes$StringSerde
  timestamp.extractor: org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.WallclockTimestampExtractor
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>kafka broker version: <code>kafka_2.11-0.11.0.2</code>.
  error occur on both versions of Kafka Streams: <code>1.0.1</code> and <code>1.1.0</code>.</p>
