Hey Dave, It's hard to say why this is happening without more information. Even if there are no errors in the log, is there anything to indicate that the rebalance process on those hosts even started? Does this happen occasionally or every time you start the consumer group? Can you paste the output of ConsumerOffsetChecker and describe topic?

We’re using the ConsumerOffsetChecker to see what partitions are assigned to the consumer group and what their offsets are. 8 of the 12 process each have been assigned two partitions and they’re keeping up with the topic. The other 4 do not get assigned partitions and no consumers in the group are consuming those 8 partitions.
