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?
