Troubleshooting

Problem

org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.CommitFailedException: Commit cannot be completed since the group has already rebalanced and assigned the partitions to another member. This means that the time between subsequent calls to poll() was longer than the configured max.poll.interval.ms, which typically implies that the poll loop is spending too much time message processing. You can address this either by increasing max.poll.interval.ms or by reducing the maximum size of batches returned in poll() with max.poll.records.

Cure

increase 'max.poll.interval.ms' in application.properties
spring.kafka.consumer.properties.max.poll.interval.ms=300000{+ ms}
OR
reduce 'max.poll.records' in application.properties
spring.kafka.consumer.properties.max.poll.records=500{- reduced row count}
