This triggers a rebalancing operation in the consumer > connector. But if this rebalancing operation fails, the mirroring code simply > throws an exception and never recovers. Ideally, if the rebalancing operation > fails due to n retries, we should shut down the mirror -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
