> Hello everyone,
> I'm new to Kafka so please be gentle with me :)
> Current issue:
> Lets say I have a consumer that consumes messages from a consumer group named
> 'ABC' and decides to terminate. Consumer group 'ABC' will now stay there
> hanging with zero consumers. This situation will cause monitoring tools like
> burrow to alert on a lag for this consumer group even though my application
> has finished its job and doesn't want to do anything and thus not in lag.
>
> I think it will be useful if we will add an option to create a consumer group
> that will be automatically removed when the last consumer has terminated
> properly and did not crashed.
>
> Please tell me what do you think?
