Jakub Korab created KAFKA-2996: ---------------------------------- Summary: Introduction around queue-like consumer group behaviour is misleading Key: KAFKA-2996 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2996 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: website Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 Reporter: Jakub Korab Priority: Minor
The documentation reads "If all the consumer instances have the same consumer group, then this works just like a traditional queue balancing load over the consumers. " This is then followed up two paragraphs later by explaining how multiple consumers on the same partition work like a queue with exclusive consumers, and that partitioning is required for parallelism. This section needs some refactoring to make it read better - as it stand it's confusing/misleading. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
