>                 Key: KAFKA-2589
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2589
>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: config
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
>         Environment: any
>            Reporter: Bogdan Dimitriu
>            Assignee: Grant Henke
>
> The documentation for 0.8.2.1 consumer properties specifies:
> | rebalance.backoff.ms | 2000 | Backoff time between retries during rebalance 
> |
> According to the source code though the default value is obtained this way:
> {code}
> val rebalanceBackoffMs = props.getInt("rebalance.backoff.ms", zkSyncTimeMs)
> {code}
> which is referenced from here:
> {code}
> val zkSyncTimeMs = props.getInt("zookeeper.sync.time.ms", 2000)
> {code}
> So by default it is 2000 as specified in the documentation, UNLESS the 
> {{zookeeper.sync.time.ms}} is manually set to be different
> This may create confusion with recommendations such:
> {quote}
> In the case, make sure that rebalance.max.retries * rebalance.backoff.ms > 
> zookeeper.session.timeout.ms
> {quote}
> from here:
