Summary: Make ConsumerGroupMetadata an interface Key: KAFKA-18836 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18836 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: clients, consumer Reporter: Matthias J. Sax This ticket is based on feedback from the user mailing list: [https://lists.apache.org/thread/bw0ycbmtxlrfd3bsh9kk41xjdq9dhmnz] Users should not create instances of `ConsumerGroupMetadata`, and this class should not have any public constructor. Ideally, it would only be an interface. We should do a KIP an deprecate both constructors, and make it an interface in AK 5.0 release. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
