Yeah, I noticed that, i'm curious how balancing happens if SimpleConsumer is used. I.e. i can provide a partition to read from if i use SimpleConsumer, but what if someone else already attached to that partition, what would happen? Also what would happen if one SimpleConsumer attached to all partitions? Noone would be able to join?
