Hi, (I did not get any response from the Storm user group)
We use a custom Kafka spout in our Apache Storm topology. When a machine in the Kafka cluster is bounced, we see the following error message in the logs: ERROR ConsumerCoordinator [thread-iii] - [Consumer clientId=consumer-1, groupId=xxxxx] Offset commit failed on partition yyyy at offset nnn: The request timed out. Please help me understand what is the consequence of this timeout: - Does that mean that the message has been read from Kafka, but was unable to write back the offset so this info can be propagated to to the cluster? - Will I continue to see all messages anyway? - Will all messages continue to come on in the same order? Thank you Ramin
