Hello We are using a modified version of kafka 0.7.1 (https://github.com/optivo-org/kafka) and had at least one case where the consumers of the group got events but the offsets were not written back to zookeeper. The consumers stopped updating the offsets after a release where the consumers of the group are each individually is restarted. Here a lot of rebalancing was taking place. After a further restart of all consumers the events were processed a second time. No related warning or error message could be found.
Is this a known problem? What could be the cause for this? Tracing the code paths it seems weird, that ZookeeperConsumerConnector.commitOffsets() does not issue a warning if no offsets were written. Is it possible that a rebalancing was not finished and as such events were processed but without an ownership no updates take place?
