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)
