Summary: Kafka consumer group auto removal
Key: KAFKA-8697
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8697
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Pavel Rogovoy
Hello everyone,
I'm new to Kafka so please be gentle with me :)
Current issue:
Lets say I have a consumer that consumes messages from a consumer group named
'ABC' and decides to terminate. Consumer group 'ABC' will now stay there
hanging with zero consumers. This situation will cause monitoring tools like
burrow to alert on a lag for this consumer group even though my application has
finished its job and doesn't want to do anything and thus not in lag.
I think it will be useful if we will add an option to create a consumer group
that will be automatically removed when the last consumer has terminated
properly and did not crashed.
Please tell me what do you think?
