Jason Gustafson created KAFKA-3318: -------------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
