It does so by making a kafka API > call. If the response from kafka server to this call comes back with an > UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID error, it results in the kafka consumer state changing to > needing partition re-assignment and no further messages are returned by the > consumer. There are a couple of other errors that result in the same state > including when rebalance is in progress. > What exactly caused this error is not known but the following is the likely > reason due to the conditions surrounding the application. When the operator > has temporarily stalled due to back-pressure exerted by the slow downstream, > it will eventually stall the operator kafka consumer thread that is reading > messages from kafka. This will result in the thread not making any kafka > consumer API calls and it will result in no heartbeats being sent to kafka > server. This can cause the server to evict the consumer after a timeout > period. This could have been the cause for the UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID error. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
