Rebalance during scaling up is always painful. Every newly joined member will keep the group at rebalancing stage until all of new instances finished bootstrapping. There could be multiple shuffling of active tasks around existing and new instances, thus decreasing the availability by a lot. This situation has been changed after we introduced KIP-345Under static membership, user could provide a list of hard-coded `group.instance.id`s to pre-register their identities on broker, so that broker cooridnator could respond to scaling operations more intelligently. For example when we scale up the fleet by defining 4 new client instance ids, the server shall wait until all 4 new members to join the group before kicking out the only one rebalance, instead of 4 four in the worst case.

							  MemberInfo  	=> JoinGroupResponseMember	
							  ErrorCode   => int16

A new admin request shall be created to execute this request by supplying for user to supply a list of `group.instance.id` for batch join:

Code Block
languagejava
titleAdminClient.java
public static AddMemberResult addMembersToGroup(String groupId, list<String> groupInstanceIdsToAdd, AddMemberToGroupOptions options);

...

  • User needs to upgrade broker to latest version to be able to use this new feature.
  • Since we are only introducing a new admin API, the change should be backward compatible.
