Major Description
KIP-134 group.initial.rebalance.delay.ms was a good start, but there are much bigger problems where after a system is up and running, consumers can leave and join in large amounts, causing rebalance storms. One example is Mesosphere deploying new versions of an app - say there are 10 instances, then 10 more instances are deployed with the new version, then the old 10 are scaled down. Ideally this would be 1 or 2 rebalances, instead of 20.
The trade off is that if the delay is 5 seconds, every consumer joining within that window would extend it by another 5 seconds, potentially causing partitions to never be processed. To mitigate this, either a max rebalance delay could also be added, or multiple consumers joining won't extend the rebalance delay, so that it's always a max of 5 seconds.
