I have a kafka topic that has 16 partitions

With a given consumer group name, we are currently launching single consumer to read from the topic.


  1. Does single consumer read from partition 0(only)?

  2. If partition 0 has gone empty with messages, does consumer start reading from next partition(partiton 1... and so on)?

  3. we have option to launch more than consumer(with same consumer group name) to read from same topic(having 16 partitions). How many consumers can be maintained, to read from multiple partitions parallely?
