Kafka Consumer Group Hold Delay

Question

How long does kafka maintain consumer bias after all consumers in this group fail? Is there a configuration variable for this?

Answer 1

The correct property name is:

offsets.retention.minutes 

from https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#brokerconfigs

Answer 2

The value can be configured in the kafka broker using:

 offsets.retention.minutes 

The default value is 24 hours.

See the configuration of the Kafka docs broker.

Answer 3

I added the following property to the Kafka configuration, it changed the offset storage time by 7 days and worked fine.

offsets.retention.minutes = 10080
