Richard, thanks for looking into this!
However, I have some concerns. The KIP you created ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-457%3A+Add+DISCONNECTED+status+to+Kafka+Streams) doesn't yet address open questions such as the ones mentioned by Matthias: 1) What is the difference between DEAD and the proposed DISCONNECTED? This should be defined in the KIP. 2) Difference between your KIP and the JIRA ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6520): In the JIRA ticket, the DISCONNECTED state was proposed for the scenario that the KStreams application is healthy but the Kafka broker is down. This is different to what you wrote in the KIP: "When something happens in Kafka Streams, such as an unexpected crash or error, KafkaStreams#state() will return State.DISCONNECTED.", which seems to mean that DISCONNECTED should be the state when the KStreams app is down. I wouldn't expect a KIP vote to pass if these basic questions aren't properly sorted out in the KIP.
