?My understanding is that the group id indicated to a consumer constructor is an arbitrary string of my own choosing on the client side, at the time of construction, which will "group" committed offsets for any set of such consumers. But the offsets() function, which is merely a query function for seeing the current offsets, is defined as taking a "group" parameter which is a string chosen from the set a set of constants: fetch, commit, task_done, or highwater (alternatively the function can be called with no parameter in which all four values are returned).
Am I correct that the use of the term group in these two cases is absolutely, totally unrelated?
