----------------------------------------
Hey all, very interesting conversation. The whole story of the member ID
generation is indeed tricky and we have a gap while the member does not have
it's member ID yet. We have discussed improvements like this temporary unique
ID generated by clients, not only because of this leave case, but also the case
where the response to an initial HB to join does not make it to the client (the
client would keep sending HB to join and the broker would keep generating and
registering new members).
I remember that, while implementing the protocol, we considered this approach
of a client-side temporary ID to be able to identify the member while it does
not have a memberId assigned by the broker yet. Not sure if I'm forgetting some
downsides or other alternatives though. Do you [~dajac] have some other
thoughts on this maybe? Thanks!

> Key: KAFKA-17116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17116
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients, consumer
> Affects Versions: 3.8.0
> Reporter: Lianet Magrans
> Assignee: TengYao Chi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: kip-848-client-support
> Fix For: 3.9.0
>
>
> If the new consumer is closed after sending a HB to join, but before
> receiving the response to it, it will send a leave group request but without
> member ID (will simply fail with UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID). This will make that the
> broker will have a registered new member, for which it will never receive a
> leave request for it.
> # consumer.subscribe -> sends HB to join, transitions to JOINING
> # consumer.close -> will transition to LEAVING and send HB with epoch -1
> (without waiting for in-flight requests)
> # consumer receives response to initial HB, containing the assigned member
> ID. It will simply ignore it because it's not in the group anymore
> (UNSUBSCRIBED)
> Note that the expectation, with the current logic, and main downsides of this
> are:
> # If the case was that the member received partitions on the first HB, those
> partitions won't be re-assigned (broker waiting for the closed consumer to
> reconcile them), until the rebalance timeout expires.
> # Even if no partitions were assigned to it, the member will remain in the
> group from the broker point of view (but not from the client POV). The member
> will be eventually kicked out for not sending HBs, but only when it's session
> timeout expires.
