Hi Sushant, Thanks for the comments.
RE sm01: I haven’t researched the share groups support as I wasn’t sure if it would be even useful for the share groups to support this feature. But usefulness of this feature was mostly discussed around the new consumer group protocol and streams protocol [1]. Share groups support can be a followup KIP as well. RE sm02: For the new consumer group protocol we will be utilising the heartbeat API to update the assignment based on the paused partitions state. As for heartbeat API for the classic group, I do not think it gives any hint around target assignment, that will be still up to the client side assignor to handle. Since classic groups will eventually be deprecated, I believe it makes more sense to focus on the new consumer group protocol. I hope this answers your questions.
