I've a HL consumer receiving messages using four threads (four partitions). 
This is a stand-alone Java client. For fail-safe reasons, I want to run another 
instance of the exact same Java client in a different box.

Here are my questions:

> Can I keep the same consumer group name or it must be different for the 2nd 
> instance?
> If same consumer group, will the 2nd client receive same set of messages 
> again?
> In general what's the best practice to designing fail-safe clients?

Thanks
Sam
