             Summary: Doc: Clarify that max number of consumer instances is per 
consumer group
                 Key: KAFKA-2110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2110
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Online documentation:
http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#introduction
            Reporter: Peter Vandenabeele
            Priority: Trivial


Suggest to modify in the Introduction, section "Consumers" to clarify that the 
maximum amount of consumer instances is *per consumer group*:

"Note however that there cannot be more consumer instances than partitions."
=>
"Note however that there cannot be more consumer instances in a consumer group 
than partitions."

and

"... though this will mean only one consumer process." 
=>
"... though this will mean only one consumer process per consumer group."
