Prashanth Menon commented on KAFKA-264:
---------------------------------------
Hmm, forgive me if my questions are trivial :)
What I mean is, the election of the leader can be handled by ZK, but what
happens if the thread/process/machine with the coordinator goes down? Does
every consumer group listen on the consumer-leader path in ZK and issue a new
round of coordinator election, ala how it'll be done for replication leaders?
