Hi Rajiv, We are currently working on checking in KAFKA-1583, which is a step 0 for the new consumer implementation. Once that is done, we will be in full spin for the coding. That said, it is fortunately not gonna happen by end of this year. The hope is to have a unit testable consumer by the end of Q1 next year.
