We have observed a similar behavior: Currently, we're upgrading our Spring Boot application from 4.0.6 to 4.1.0 which in turn upgrades Kafka from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1. We have observed that the behavior of REPLACE_THREAD / StreamsUncaughtExceptionHandler has changed. In Kafka 4.1.2, when REPLACE_THREAD was returned, the old StreamThread shut down and left the group, and the new thread could then resume work immediately. In Kafka 4.2.1, when REPLACE_THREAD is returned, the old StreamThread remains in the group for max.poll.interval.ms milliseconds and that is how long it takes for the new StreamThread to start getting work. We believe that this is caused by https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/68f1da84740092dbd5ebb49ae62035174758b98b#diff-ab27af136b0c45ed402ec44368a91380b018bf06f1a9722324fe6be8d5220f7dR491-R978 where leaveGroupRequested is now set to false / REMAIN_IN_GROUP, which previously was set to true / LEAVE_GROUP. We are using the classic protocol. On 2026/05/2...

Hello Kafka users, developers and client-developers, This is the second release candidate of Apache Kafka 4.3.1. This is a bugfix release for the 4.3 line. The most significant fix is KAFKA-20616, a critical native memory leak in Kafka Streams caused by RocksDB ColumnFamily handles and ColumnFamilyOptions not being released (notably the offsets column family added for KIP-1035). The release also includes: - KAFKA-20663: Kafka Streams stale-offset / OffsetOutOfRangeException on restart (StateDirectory task-lock release on startup-manager close, and returning the committed offset from the newest segment first) - KAFKA-20673: AdminClient partition-leader APIs hang when a cached leader has left the cluster - KAFKA-20634 / KAFKA-20635: spurious group-coordinator errors after a partition leadership change - KAFKA-20535: improved async consumer CPU usage under low max.poll.records - Additional documentation updates (KIP-1035, KIP-1271 headers-aware state ...
