can you add `as const` so this `CONSUMER_GROUP_STATE_TOOLTIPS` will be readonly , and then you can harness the full power of typescript.  @Mgrdich 
hi, thanks for your review. 
I added `as const`
Consumers: Add a tooltip for state
Empty: The group exists but has no members
Stable: Consumers are happily consuming and have assigned partitions.
PreparingRebalance: Something has changed, and the reassignment of partitions is required.
CompletingRebalance: Partition reassignment is in progress.
Dead: The group is going to be removed. It might be due to the inactivity, or the group is being migrated to different group coordinator.
