             Summary: Improve consumer rebalance error messaging
                 Key: KAFKA-3318
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3318
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jason Gustafson
            Assignee: Jason Gustafson


A common problem with the new consumer is to have message processing take 
longer than the session timeout, causing an unexpected rebalance. 
Unfortunately, when this happens, the error messages are often cryptic (e.g. 
something about illegal generation) and contain no clear advice on what to do 
(e.g. increase session timeout). We should do a pass on error messages to 
ensure that users receive clear guidance on the problem and possible solutions.
