Description

There are some rare instances when a consumer would be up before bringing up the Kafka brokers. This would usually happen in a test scenario. In such conditions, during rebalance instead of failing the rebalance we just log the error and subscribe to broker changes. When the broker comes back up, we trigger the rebalance.
