Review comment:
       catching up? catching up happens only in non-winner replicas, iiuc. This 
method won't even be invoked as only winning replicas will checkpoint to 
source. 
   
   offset returned will be persisted in ZK as the endOffset of this segment and 
used as startingOffset of the next segment. It should still be comparable 
within the server. This system-specific implementation of 
`StreamPartitionMsgOffset` should provide these guarantees.
