Hi team, Here's the new KIP <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-812%3A+Introduce+another+form+of+the+%60KafkaStreams.close%28%29%60+API+that+forces+the+member+to+leave+the+consumer+group> for this issue <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13217>.
The title says pretty much what this KIP is for. Even though it's my first draft, as A. Sophie Blee-Goldman has written rich descriptions and already the solutions in the issue thread, I've enjoyed following up on the idea. Please feel free to review on any point!
