So I've run into a problem where occasionally, some partitions within a topic end up in a "none" owner state for a long time.
I'm using the high-level consumer on several machines, each consumer has 4 threads. Normally when I run the ConsumerOffsetChecker, all partitions have owners and similar lag. Occasionally I end up in this state: trackingGroup Events2 32 552506856 569853398 17346542 none trackingGroup Events2 33 553649131 569775298 16126167 none trackingGroup Events2 34 552380321 569572719 17192398 none trackingGroup Events2 35 553206745 569448821 16242076 none trackingGroup Events2 36 553673576 570084283 16410707 none trackingGroup Events2 37 552669833 569765642 17095809 none trackingGroup Events2 38 553147178 569766985 16619807 none trackingGroup Events2 39 552495219 569837815 17342596 none trackingGroup Events2 40 570108655 570111080 2425 trackingGroup_host6-1384385417822-23157ae8-0 trackingGroup Events2 41 570288505 570291068 2563 trackingGroup_host6-1384385417822-23157ae8-0 trackingGroup Events2 42 569929870 569932330 2460 trackingGroup_host6-1384385417822-23157ae8-0 I'm at the point where I'm considering writing my own client but hopefully the user group has the answer! I am using this commit of 8.0 on both the brokers and clients: d4553da609ea9af6db8a79faf116d1623c8a856f
