Hey Vahid, Thanks for the KIP. If I understand correctly, the problem is how to fetch existing offsets for a group which has no active members, right? I'm not totally clear why we need to modify the DescribeGroups API in order to achieve this since we already have the OffsetFetch API. I think the limitation currently is that you need to know the partitions to fetch offsets for, but perhaps we could modify it to support the "null=all" semantics that we used for the TopicMetadata API?
