There might be many causes, but from broker's point of view: This consumer is dead.
Consumers are considered dead when one of the following happended: 1. didn't send out heartbeat for session.timeout.ms(defaults to 10 seconds) period of time. (Consumers sent heart beat ever heartbeat.interval.ms). Did you configure this reasonably? Note that heartbeat runs in a background thread, so your app logic should not affect it. 2. didn't poll for max.poll.interval.ms (defaults to 5 minutes) period of time. Sometimes although the consumer is sending heartbeat (by the bg thread), the main thread may be dead. Is your application polled too much that couldn't be processed in 5 minutes so next pool is delayed by more than 5 minutes?
