Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-559:
-------------------------------------
This is a good tool to have. In addition to being able to remove the consumer
groups with no offset updates since the zk modified timestamp, it will be good
to add a defensive check to ensure that there are no consumers currently
registered under that group. This will prevent us from accidentally deleting
the offset information for alive consumer groups.

> Many use cases involve tranient consumers. These consumers create entries
> under their consumer group in zk and maintain offsets there as well. There is
> currently no way to delete these entries. It would be good to have a tool
> that did something like
> bin/delete-obsolete-consumer-groups.sh [--topic t1] --since [date]
> --zookeeper [zk_connect]
> This would scan through consumer group entries and delete any that had no
> offset update since the given date.
