It's true that right now the shutdown helper calls this `#streamThreadLeaveConsumerGroup` after the thread has shut down which makes it seem like we want the shutdown helper to be responsible for managing the group membership after the thread has died, but that's really just an artifact of the lack of a `consumer#close(CloseOptions)` before now. We had to wait for the thread to shut down and close the consumer, and then we could use the admin client to explicitly remove it from the group. But that's really not ideal for a number of reasons (a big one being that it only works for static members) and was essentially just a workaround since the consumer couldn't do this itself. Now that we do have consumers which can handle their own group membership via `#close`, we don't need this workaround and can leave everything up to the consumer which the StreamThread owns. In short, instead of refactoring the way this `#streamThreadLeaveConsumerGroup` method works, we should just remove this call entirely, and leave it up to the StreamThread to properly close the consumer with the right leavegroup option in its `#completeShutdown` Lmk if that makes sense! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
