+// of scope.
+//
+// The simplest way of using a PartitionConsumer is to loop over its Messages channel using a for/range
+// loop. The PartitionConsumer will only stop itself in one case: when the offset being consumed is reported
+// as out of range by the brokers. In this case you should decide what you want to do (try a different offset,
+// notify a human, etc) and handle it appropriately. For all other error cases, it will just keep retrying.
+// By default, it logs these errors to sarama.Logger; if you want to be notified directly of all errors, set
+// your config's Consumer.Return.Errors to true and read from the Errors channel, using a select statement
+// or a separate goroutine. Check out the Consumer examples to see implementations of these different approaches.
+//
+// To terminate such a for/range loop while the loop is executing, call AsyncClose. This will kick off the process of
+// consumer tear-down & return immediately. Continue to loop, servicing the Messages channel until the teardown process
+// AsyncClose initiated closes it (thus terminating the for/range loop). If you've already ceased reading Messages, call
+// Close; this will signal the PartitionConsumer's goroutines to begin shutting down (just like AsyncClose), but will
+// also drain the Messages channel, harvest all errors & return them once cleanup has completed.

+	// this before calling Close on the underlying client.
+	AsyncClose()
+
+	// Close stops the PartitionConsumer from fetching messages. It will initiate a shutdown just like AsyncClose, drain
+	// the Messages channel, harvest any errors & return them to the caller. Note that if you are continuing to service
