[DOCS]: fix ambiguity - consuming by multiple consumers, but by exactâ¦
In doc it stays:
_"Our topic is divided into a set of totally ordered partitions, each of
which is consumed by one consumer at any given time."_
And consumer is described as:
_"We'll call **processes** that subscribe to topics and process the feed of
published messages **consumers**."_
Which might lead to a wrong conclusion - that each partition can be read by
one process at any given time.
I think this statements misses information about **consumer groups**, so i
propose:
_"Our topic is divided into a set of totally ordered partitions, each of
which is consumed by exactly one consumer (from each subscribed consumer
groups) at any given time"_
This contribution is my original work and I license the work to the project
