Ravi, For 1, consumer group is specified in consumer config.
For 2, partitions are divided evenly among consumers in the same group for consumption. For details, please see the design doc on our website. For 3, a producer never needs to know consumer groups. A producer always produces messages to a topic/partition. There are examples in the design doc too.
