Kafka metrics: Bytesout greater than Bytesin??

Hello,

After graphing the cumulative values of Bytesin and Bytesout for one of our
Kafka topics, we've noticed that the Bytesout values are sometimes greater
than the Bytesin values. We are not really sure how this would be possible
if the max that a consumer can consume would be what has been put on the
queue for that topic. Any explanations? Thanks.
