kafka-consumer-group Group xxx with protocol type ‘‘ is not a valid consumer group

如题，很多同学应该都遇到过，执行kafka-consumer-group的时候，无法查看消费者组消费情况。

{$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --describe --group flink-consumer-group
Error while executing consumer group command Group flink-consumer-group with protocol type '' is not a valid consumer group
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Group flink-consumer-group with protocol type '' is not a valid consumer group

争对0.10.0之前的kafka服务器，消息消费情况存在zk上面。反正，则存在kafka的服务本身，即bootstrap-server中。

笔者通过多方资料查询，最终在kafka开源网站中得知，kafka的0.10.+的版本中，kafka-consumer-groups.sh存在bug。更新替换更高版本的kafka即可。
