In this transient - * state, the assigned partitions, the partitions pending revocation and the partitions pending assignment - * are updated. If the partitions pending revocation is not empty, the state machine transitions to - * REVOKING; if partitions pending assignment is not empty, it transitions to ASSIGNING; otherwise it - * transitions to STABLE. + * Valid Transitions: + * - UNRELEASED_PARTITIONS -> STABLE + * The member may transition to the STABLE state if the partitions that he + * was awaiting on are no longer in the desired target assignment.
