-----------------------------------------
Summary: Deleting the consumer group programatically using RESTFul
API
Key: KAFKA-9532
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9532
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Wish
Components: clients
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Rakshith Mamidala
Fix For: 2.4.0
As a requirement in project, instead of listening the messages and consuming /
storing message data into database, we are creating the consumer groups run
time per user (to avoid thread safe issue) and using consumer.poll and
consumer.seekToBeginning and once read all the messages we are closing the
connection, unsubscribing consumer group.
Whats happening in Kafka is, the consumer groups moved from active state to
DEAD state but not getting removed / deleted, in Kafka Tools it shows all the
consumers even if those are DEAD.
*What we want:*
# How to remove / delete the consumer groups programatically.
# Is there any REST Endpoint / command line / script to delete the consumer
groups? What are those.
# What impact the DEAD consumer groups can creates in terms of production
environment.?
