In the Schema Registry image configuration, there's a special option called SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SCHEMA_REGISTRY_GROUP_ID, which sets the Consumer group ID for the Schema Registry in most images.
When running a Schema Registry in a multi-node setup, it’s important to configure certain properties to ensure proper communication and coordination between nodes. The SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SCHEMA_REGISTRY_GROUP_ID environment variable is used to set the Kafka Consumer Group ID for the Schema Registry. In a multi-node setup, each instance of Schema Registry should have a unique Consumer Group ID to ensure that they don’t interfere with each other.
Can we make this variable mandatory? Several of my teammates nearly lost their sanity after spending days troubleshooting this silent, flaky behavior.
I suppose it is somewhere near that code: public static final String SCHEMAREGISTRY_GROUP_ID_CONFIG = "schema.registry.group.id";

This is a common problem many people face, as discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58563035/multiple-kafka-schema-registry-against-same-cluster
