It was found in production that when a ZooKeeper leader dies, Kafka-Pixy loses all claims for partitions that it made, but keeps consuming them and committing offsets. However the first Kafka-Pixy instance started after failover will see that no partitions are claimed, claim them all and start consuming messages and committing offsets for partitions that are still owned by other instances, resulting in duplicate consumption.
Investigation revealed that the reason for that is an issue with samuel/go-zookeeper library. The issue was fixed in the mailgun clone of that library. This change switches to use the mailgun/go-zookeeper clone of the library while a PR against upstream is pending.
EDIT: The PR against go-zookeeper has been accepted, but I decided to keep dependency on the mailgun clone for the time being in case we need to fix something else.
