Jason, Thanks for the writeup. Perhaps we can have two new requests: DescribeConsumerGroup and ListConsumerGroup. The former takes a list of groups and returns a list of metadata (members, group metadata, member metadata, etc) for each group. The latter takes nothing and just returns a list of groups hosted on the broker. Using an empty list to represent "all" can potentially generate a large response if there are many groups.
Since this is marked as an 0.9.0 blocker, it would be great if other people can review this KIP soon.
