I overlooked the pause resume mechanism- it should work for us I think

We have a case where there are multiple consumers in the same group- but some of them might start sooner than the rest and all consumers can be lazy pollers The issue is that we need to set the poll interval to a large value as the consumer may not always need to poll- instead, they only poll when they receive some other stimulus. Because of this, when the other consumer joins the group, rebalance takes very long Ideally, the rebalance timeout would have its own config(maybe max.rebalance.ms?) which defaults to max.poll.interval.ms but not sure if that was already considered and rejected due to some other reason
