Purpose

Linked issue: close #3349

Flink currently exposes currentFetchEventTimeLag, but it measures event-time lag rather than offset backlog. For Fluss log reading, we need a Kafka-style records lag metric so users can understand how far each subscribed source-reader bucket is behind.

Relying only on timestamp lag can be misleading, especially for backfill jobs that subscribe to multiple time partitions. Older partitions may always appear to have a large event-time lag, even when their records have already been fully consumed.

Pull request overview

This PR adds Kafka-style “records lag” (offset backlog) metrics to the Fluss Flink source reader so users can observe how far each subscribed bucket is behind, complementing Flink’s existing event-time lag metric.

Changes:

  • Introduces per-bucket gauges for logEndOffset and recordsLag, plus reader-level aggregate gauges (recordsLagMax, recordsLagSum, laggingBuckets).
  • Adds a periodic background refresher that calls Admin#listOffsets(..., LatestSpec) to keep log end offsets updated for streaming buckets.
  • Adds unit tests validating records-lag tracking and aggregate gauges.
