Description

ConsoleConsumer exits when no messages are received for a timeout period when run with the old consumer since the old consumer had a timeout parameter. This behaviour is not available with the new consumer and hence ducktape tests which rely on the timeout cannot be run with the new consumer.

granders has suggested a solution in KAFKA-2581.
