Hi Lianet,

I ran the following tests:
 - Downloaded the binary distribution
 - Started a combined local cluster
 - Created a topic
 - Ran two instances of a streams wordcount application using streams protocol
 - Set a dynamic group config, validated that it's applied
 - Described the streams group.

+1 (binding)

Thanks for running the release.
