I did not check but my best guess would be yes as the second consumer was correctly pulling Flume events from the 5 brokers (our consumption metrics showed 20% less events being consumed on the consumer that did not reconnect to the 5th broker). No special logs apart from the one I sent to the list. The problem could not be reproduced, so I guess this will just be P&L... Mathias.
