----------------------------------

             Summary: Use COORDINATOR_NOT_AVAILABLE to replace 
UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID when the group is not available
                 Key: KAFKA-8386
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8386
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Boyang Chen
            Assignee: Boyang Chen


When the group is dead or unavailable on the coordinator, current approach is 
to return `UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID` to let the member reset generation and rejoin. It 
is not particularly safe for static members in this case, since resetting 
`member.id` could delay the detection for duplicate instance.id.

Also considering the fact that group unavailability could mostly be caused by 
migration, it is favorable to trigger a coordinator rediscovery immediately 
than one more bounce. Thus, we decide to use `COORDINATOR_NOT_AVAILABLE` as top 
line citizen.
