Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2017:
----------------------------------------
I think persistence in Kafka is a promising idea. Reusing the consumer offsets
topic would be nice if possible. The current schema for the key in the consumer
offsets topic looks like this: <version><group><topic><partition>. If we reused
this topic to store group data, would we use a new key version, or would we use
a truncated form of the existing version?

> When a coordinator fails, the group membership protocol tries to failover to
> a new coordinator without forcing all the consumers rejoin their groups. This
> is possible if the coordinator persists its state so that the state can be
> transferred during coordinator failover. This state consists of most of the
> information in GroupRegistry and ConsumerRegistry.
