Description

• I have a topic (1 partition) and a producer and new consumer that produce to and consumer from the topic.
• The consumer belongs to group A.
• I kill the consumer (whether it has consumed any messages or not does not seem to be relevant).
• After a short period when group status is processed and finalized, I run the consumer-group describe command (kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --new-consumer --describe --group A).
• The response I receive is Consumer group `A` is rebalancing.
• I keep trying the command but the response does not change.
