> The consumer group instance ID is used to support a notion of "static" consumer groups. The idea is to be able to identify the same group instance across restarts so that a rebalance is not needed. However, if the user sets `group.instance.id` in the consumer configuration, but uses "simple" assignment with `assign()`, then the instance ID nevertheless is sent in the OffsetCommit request to the coordinator. This may result in a surprising UNKNOWN_MEMBER_ID error. The consumer should probably be smart enough to only send the instance ID when committing as part of a consumer group.
