Hi All, We have two consumers in a consumer group subscribed to the topic. Both the consumers are in different servers. The topic consists of 11 partitions and 1 replication. Normally, 5 partitions are consumed in consumer 1 and remaining in consumer 2. Whenever there is a connection glitch between consumers and the coordinator, the rebalance procedure is running on both consumers. During this procedure, all the 11 partitions are assigned to consumer1 and two of the partitions (which are assigned to consumer1) are assigned to consumer2. This leads to lockexception in consumer2 and consumer2 remains in livelock to create state directories for those two partitons.
