Hey Guys, In last KIP hangout, we decided on following path for deprecating ConsumerOffsetChecker.
1. Add deprecation warning to the tool for one release. In this case, the warning will be added in 0.9.0. 2. Drop it completely in next release, 0.9.1. I have updated the (KIP-23){ https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56852556} accordingly. {KAFKA-2307}(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2307) is to remind up that we need to drop the tool in 0.9.1. Let me know if I am missing out on any step that we decided on for the deprecation. -- Regards, Ashish
