-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add a consumer client that connects to the co-ordinator for rebalancing
                 Key: KAFKA-389
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-389
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Neha Narkhede


This JIRA will add a new Kafka consumer that does not depend on zookeeper for rebalancing. This consumer will eventually replace the ZookeeperConsumerConnector. On startup, the consumer connects to the current co-ordinator and listens for rebalancing requests.

Detailed design is here - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Central+Consumer+Coordination
