Allows a Kafka consumer to be used for bundled assignments. By decoupling consumers from splits and running them in separate threads the harness thread should be blocked less by the creation of network connections or outstanding polls. The consumer thread may prefetch a batch of records while the harness thread is processing the current record batch. Multiplexing assigned TopicPartitions onto a single consumer may improve utilization of the network connection. A follow up PR may introduce consumer pools for cases where a single consumer would become a bottleneck. The state shared between the consumer and harness thread can be retrieved and mutated without locking. The lock-free exchange object of type TopicPartitionState fills a 64 byte cache line and should not suffer from false sharing provided that the cache line is 64 bytes long and the object is placed at the start of a cache line.

Benchmarks to follow soon.
