Pavel Rogovoy created KAFKA-8697: ------------------------------------ Summary: Kafka consumer group auto removal Key: KAFKA-8697 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8697 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Pavel Rogovoy
Hello everyone, I'm new to Kafka so please be gentle with me :) Current issue: Lets say I have a consumer that consumes messages from a consumer group named 'ABC' and decides to terminate. Consumer group 'ABC' will now stay there hanging with zero consumers. This situation will cause monitoring tools like burrow to alert on a lag for this consumer group even though my application has finished its job and doesn't want to do anything and thus not in lag. I think it will be useful if we will add an option to create a consumer group that will be automatically removed when the last consumer has terminated properly and did not crashed. Please tell me what do you think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
