Description:
 def commit_async(self, offsets=None, callback=None):
 """Commit offsets to kafka asynchronously, optionally firing callback. This commits offsets only to Kafka. The offsets committed using this API will be used on the first fetch after every rebalance and also on startup. As such, if you need to store offsets in anything other than Kafka, this API should not be used. To avoid re-processing the last message read if a consumer is restarted, the committed offset should be the next message your application should consume, i.e.: last_offset + 1. This is an asynchronous call and will not block. Any errors encountered are either passed to the callback (if provided) or discarded. Arguments: offsets (dict, optional):
 {TopicPartition: OffsetAndMetadata} dict to commit with the configured group_id. Defaults to currently consumed offsets for all subscribed partitions. callback (callable, optional):
 Called as callback(offsets, response) with response as either an Exception or an OffsetCommitResponse struct. This callback can be used to trigger custom actions when a commit request completes. Returns: kafka.future.Future """
