Elias Levy commented on FLINK-11435: ------------------------------------ This is expected behavior. Flink manages Kafka offsets itself. Offsets are only reported to Kafka via the consumer group id to allow tracking progress by tools in Kafka ecosystem. > Different jobs same consumer group are treated as separate groups > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-11435 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11435 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Kafka Connector > Affects Versions: 1.7.1 > Environment: kafka consumer > Reporter: Avi Levi > Priority: Major > > deploying two jobs with the same consumer group id, still treated as > different consumer groups. This behavior does not comply with kafka > expectations. Same consumer group ids should be treated as the same group > this will enable deploying more jobs (specially if they are stateless ) on > demand and it also how normal consumer groups behave. > reproduce : > deploy the same job twice - both jobs consumes the same message although they > share the same consumer id -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
