It shouldn't.
Creating several listener / consumer processes belonging to the same
group means you are working with a point-to-point message channel so
incoming messages will be delivered only to one consumer.
Maybe I'm wrong but I believe in that scenario there's no difference
(from broker perspective) between threads and processes.

Hi,
Does Kafka have a limitation on the simultaneous connections (created with
Consumer.createJavaConsumerConnector) for the same topic within the same
group?
My scenario is I need to consume a topic from different process (not
thread), so I need to create lots of high level consumers.
