KIP-1240 — Additional group configurations for share groups
Accepted Kafka 4.3 Consumer
Introduces per-group dynamic configuration for share groups, including max delivery attempts and delivery timeout, superseding the global broker-level config for these parameters. KIP-932 fixed share group behavior at the broker level without group-level overrides, making it impossible to tune error tolerance independently for different share groups on the same cluster.
