> Group metadata cache loading is not safe when reloading a partition

> If the coordinator receives a leaderAndIsr request which includes a higher
> leader epoch for one of the partitions that it owns, then it will reload the
> offset/metadata for that partition again. This can happen because the leader
> epoch is incremented for ISR changes which do not result in a new leader for
> the partition. Currently, the coordinator replaces cached metadata values
> blindly on reloading, which can result in weird behavior such as unexpected
> session timeouts or request timeouts while rebalancing.
> To fix this, we need to check that the group being loaded has a higher
> generation than the cached value before replacing it. Also, if we have to
> replace a cached value (which shouldn't happen except when loading), we need
> to be very careful to ensure that any active delayed operations won't affect
> the group.
