Default offset replication factor not equal to in-sync replic count?

[shrinandj]

I ran into a problem after deploying kafka on my Kubernetes cluster. Whenever my client was using a "group-id", it would fail and get back errors about Marking some broker dead. The reason this happened was that the default offsets.topic.replication.factor is 1 whereas min.insync.replicas is set to 2.

Some more details can be found here.

The fix was to either change the min.insync.replicas to 1 or set the offsets.topic.replication.factor to 2.

I think this is resolved by #140. Anyone with an exiting __consumer_offsets partitions must do something like 49649e1.
