Lianet Magrans commented on KAFKA-19233: ---------------------------------------- Hey [~twmb] , sorry busy lately but catching up here to help, some answers and questions too. On the flow you describe: Line 1 : OK Line 2 : OK, but why a full HB after a successful response from the broker on Line 1? Line 3: Why is the client repeating "CONSUMER_GROUP_HEARTBEAT uxNP e10."? If it got FENCED_MEMBER_EPOCH on Line 2 from the broker, the client should release its assignment, reset the epoch to 0, and only then HB again to rejoin (so HB with 0, not 10) Line 4: This one is unexpected. Could you double check in this case, why is the fence error set on the broker? maybe point me to the logs (member epoch is 0, I expect it doesn't exist on the broker because you have it fenced/removed) . Related to this, on the initial description you shared there was a case where I didn't see fencing hapening because of this log you shared: > "The consumer group member has a smaller member epoch (0) than the one known > by the group coordinator (11). The member must abandon all its partitions and > rejoin." If the member is "known by the group coordinator (11)" I expect it's because it is still in the group with epoch 0 (so not fenced). Are this logs mixing several clients maybe? This test in the java client covers this area of what a fenced member should do [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/c28f46459ac26693b3639fca26c0961283c2ee65/clients/src/test/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/ConsumerHeartbeatRequestManagerTest.java#L839] Please let me know the setup you are running (how many consumers?), and with that and the answers to the questions above we can probably sort this out.
