Viliam Durina updated KAFKA-5881: --------------------------------- Description: Currently the {{KafkaConsumer}} is not able to return events from newly added partitions, neither in automatic nor in manual assignment. I have to create a new consumer. This was a surprise to me and [https://stackoverflow.com/q/46175275/952135|other users]. With manual assignment, the {{consumer.partitionsFor("topic")}} should eventually return new partitions. With automatic assignment, one of the consumers should start consuming from new partitions. If this is technically not possible, it should at least be documented. was: Currently the {{KafkaConsumer}} is not able to return events from newly added partitions, neither in automatic nor in manual assignment.
