Summary: add unique identifier to clientId Key: KAFKA-4824 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4824 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: consumer, streams Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0 Reporter: Clemens Valiente Priority: Minor As discussed with [~damianguy] streams clientId is set to applicationId-threadId-consumer which of course wouldn’t be unique if running multiple instances per host. *Example use case:* deployment as docker container on marathon so it might end up multiple times on the same host and of course they're all running with the same configuration. All clients on the same host would have the same clientid *Problem* Consumers running with the same client id make it hard to identify lagging consumers correctly *Potential solution:* Internally we do have a processId. It might make sense if we attached that to the clientId. it would then be unique across instances -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
