> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Jason Gustafson
> Assignee: Jason Gustafson
>
> Currently the consumer coordinator accepts offset commits blindly if it has
> no state stored for the associated groupId. This means that upon coordinator
> failover, offset commits from any member of a group will be accepted, even if
> that member is from an older generation. A better way of handling this case
> would be to return an ILLEGAL_GENERATION error when the generation in the
> commit request is greater than or equal to 0. Consumers that are not using
> group management will always send a generation of -1, so their commits will
> still be accepted as valid.
