Christian Richter created KAFKA-7851: ----------------------------------------
Summary: Continue data streaming while rebalancing Key: KAFKA-7851 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7851 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Christian Richter At the moment, consumers will not receive further data when a rebalancing is triggered. In cases where many hundreds of consumers are re-balanced, the data stream is significantly interrupted by the rebalancing, especially as the time for the rebalancing is longer for many consumers. By still streaming data to the consumers till the new generation is put in place, the data stream would be more consistent and stable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
