Hi,
I have 3 high level consumers with the same group id. One of the consumer goes down, I know rebalance will kick in in the remaining two consumers. What happens if one of the remaining consumers is very slow during rebalancing and it hasn't released ownership of some of the topics will the other consumer claim the ownership of those topics that are currently owned by the slow consumer (assuming those topics will be assigned to the other consumer after a successful rebalance) and start consuming?
