             Summary: Regression in handling of JoinGroupRequest disallows 
deterministic protocol selection based on order of preference
                 Key: KAFKA-8332
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8332
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: Konstantine Karantasis
            Assignee: Konstantine Karantasis


When a group of Kafka clients includes more than one embedded protocol in its 
{{JoinGroupRequest}} along with its metadata, the group membership protocol 
defines that the protocol which is supported by all the members of a group is 
selected, and if more than one protocols are supported by all the members the 
protocol is selected based on the order of preference as defined in the 
{{JoinGroupRequest}}. 

A recent change from type {{List}} to type {{Set}} for storing the set of 
supported embedded protocols in the {{JoinGroupRequest}} combined with the old 
type of handling with implicit types in the scala code, has introduced 
non-determinism in the selection of the embedded protocol by the 
{{GroupCoordinator}}, even though the underlying type of the Set in use is a 
variant of LinkedHashSet (it respects order). 

The relevant code is: 
{code:java}
// KafkaApis.scala
val protocols = joinGroupRequest.data().protocols().asScala.map(protocol =>
        (protocol.name, protocol.metadata)).toList
{code}
