   Hi @lianetm, 
   
   Here is my understanding. Please correct me if I’m wrong:  
   Since the group management has now moved to the server-side, the 
`ConsumerGroupMetadata` basically represents the data acknowledged by the 
broker. In this case, I think we should keep the 
`ConsumerGroupMetadata.memberId` empty at startup. This is because, at that 
moment, the broker still has no knowledge of the memberId. Once the consumer 
polls, the broker will then recognize the `memberId` and update the assignment, 
allowing the consumer to update the `ConsumerGroupMetadata` via 
`MemberStateListener`. After that, `ConsumerGroupMetadata` will have the 
`memberId`.
   
   Does this make sense ?
