It might be better to have a `createConsumer(Map<String, Object> props)` method and `createConsumer()` method that does everything here except the subscribe, and to leave the subscribe call (which is one method invocation) to the caller. (Probably should mention the latter in the JavaDoc for this method.)
This additional control will make it easier for users to create a consumer that fits their needs. And since this method is currently only called from within the `consume(...)` method, there's little downside in having the caller do the subscribe.
