It's odd that I can't easily find this information online, but I could not. So, my question is that I have one Kafka topic. I want 2 consumer groups independently of each other consume messages from this topic. So, what I want is that both consumer groups to be able to see and consume all messages independent of each other.

Just to be even more clear, I don't want some messages to be consumed by one consumer group, and some messages to be consumed by the other group; no, I want the 2 groups consume messages as if the other group doesn't even exist.

Yes, separate consumer groups are completely independent, so they all see all messages.

Partitioning of resources (topics/partitions) only happen within groups.
