Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-10284:
-----------------------------------------

Hmm.. Not totally sure I buy this:

> A static member X joins the group and updates member.id to M1, then gets stuck
> Another static member Y with the same instance.id joins and updates member.id 
> to M2, while starts working and commit offsets
> The group coordinator migrates, and the member.id for the same static member 
> rewinds to M1
> The static member X goes back online, and validated. It would try to fetch 
> from Y's committed offset

Why would member X fetch Y's committed offset? If it doesn't know it had been 
fenced temporarily, it might just commit its latest offsets. This does seem 
like a correctness problem to me.

> Group membership update due to static member rejoin should be persisted

> For known static members rejoin, we would update its corresponding member.id 
> without triggering a new rebalance. This serves the purpose for avoiding 
> unnecessary rebalance for static membership, as well as fencing purpose if 
> some still uses the old member.id. 
> The bug is that we don't actually persist the membership update, so if no 
> upcoming rebalance gets triggered, this new member.id information will get 
> lost during group coordinator immigration, thus bringing up the zombie member 
> identity.
