Hi Janardhan/Stephan, I just figured out what the issue is (Talking about Flink KafkaConnector08, don't know about Flink KafkaConnector09)
The reason why- bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper <zookeeper-url:port> --describe --group <group-id> is not showing any result is because of the absence of the /consumers/<group-id>/owners/<topic> in the zookeeper. The flink application is creating and updating /consumers/<group-id>/offsets/<topic>/<partition> but not creating "owners" Znode If I manually create the Znode using the following: create /consumers/<group-id>/owners “firstchildren” create /consumers/<group-id>/owners/<topic> null It works fine, bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper <zookeeper-url:port> --describe --group <group-id> starts pulling offset results for me. I think this needs to be corrected in the application: to check and create "/consumers/<group-id>/owners/<topic>" if it does not exist.
