> Did you observe this in practice? Wondering, as it seems it should actually not be a problem. Can you clarify? Exactly. I was building a kafka-streams application in wich human-unreadable messages in a topic (A) are joined against the data into another topic (B). Data in topic B may arrive later than in topic A. Consequently, I personalized one of the examples in which `max.task.idle.ms` is used for that purpose. Incidentally, I changed the value of `max.poll.interval.ms` to a short value, shorter than `max.task.idle.ms`, and I started experiencing frequent rebalancing. I suspect that the idle prevent the tasks from giving a sign of their presence, thus they are disconnected from the consumer group. Let me know if you need any further thing.
