Asker commented on KAFKA-17232:
-------------------------------

Hello [~gharris1727],

Thank you very much for your prompt response and for clarifying the situation. 
Our team is delighted to have been heard and to have contributed to identifying 
the issue.

We will consider the best course of action—whether to remain on 3.8.x or to 
upgrade to 3.9.1/4.0.0 when they become available. In any case, we are eagerly 
looking forward to the new Kafka versions.

Thank you again for your support and for addressing this matter so quickly.

Best regards,
Asker Kakhramanov

> The MirrorCheckpointConnector has two operations that read the source 
> consumer groups:
>  * loadInitialConsumerGroups
>  * refreshConsumerGroups
> loadInitialConsumerGroups blocks the start() method of the connector, while 
> refreshConsumerGroups is asynchronous and runs periodically while the 
> connector is running.
> loadInitialConsumerGroups may take a long time to execute, and may exceed the 
> configured "admin.timeout.ms" used by the Scheduler. This timeout is logged 
> and the start() method returns normally. If this happens, the framework will 
> generate task configs immediately after start(), before 
> loadInitialConsumerGroups can finish, and will generate an empty set of task 
> configs:

> Later, when loadInitialConsumerGroups completes, it will not request task 
> reconfiguration, believing it is the initial load operation.
> Later still, when refreshConsumerGroups completes, it will not request task 
> reconfiguration, as the set of consumer groups has not changed since the 
> initial load:

>  
> This leads to a situation where the MirrorCheckpointConnector believes it has 
> converged with nothing to update, but actually has consumer groups that are 
> not allocated to tasks.
> This happens particularly for large, stable Kafka clusters with many consumer 
> groups that are not being actively created or deleted.
