Describe the feature
It's currently NOT possible to configure the consumer group rebalance strategy. The default is range which sometimes is not ideal. Sarama allows selecting the rebalance strategy as follows:
config.Consumer.Group.Rebalance.GroupStrategies = []sarama.BalanceStrategy{sarama.NewBalanceStrategySticky()}
It would be beneficial to be able customize it using component metadata.
Release Note
RELEASE NOTE: ADD support for configuring Consumer Group Rebalance Strategy using component metadata
