hi Andrew I just reviewed and backported https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23014, but unfortunately I noticed another busy loop. I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20970, which is a blocker too, to handle that busy loop.
The ticket is already assigned to Ken, and I think we can tackle it soon.
