Hey Marcos, Thanks for the report. Can you check out https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3994 and see if it matches? At a glance, it looks like the same problem. We tried pretty hard to get the fix into the release, but it didn't quite make it. A few questions:
1. Did you not see this in prior releases? As far as we can tell, it is possible going back to 0.9.0.0, but there could be a subtle difference in 0.10.1.0 which increases its likelihood. 2. How often are you hitting this problem? You might try the patch that's available if it's occurring frequently and you can't downgrade. I think the existing patch is incomplete, but it should still reduce the likelihood. 3. Out of curiosity, what is the size of your cluster and how many consumers do you have in your cluster? Thanks!
