Would some one explain the interplay between the group.id and autooffset.reset 
config parameters? I wrote a simple Consumer that had

    group.id =  "XYZZY"
    autooffset.reset = smallest

My intention was to write something similar to Kafka's ConsoleConsumer; that 
each time my Consumer ran, it would start at the beginning and read all of the 
messages available. I discovered that it only read the messages the first time, 
and that I need to change the group.id and reset to smallest.

A general question is why?
A specific question is: What are use cases where I would change the group.id, 
what are use cases where I want it to remain the same?

Thanks,
C. Helck
