Hi Florin, The new consumer is intended to replace both the high level and simple consumers.
http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#consumerapi The old simple consumer API didn't rely on zookeeper to store offsets, but rather the client was responsible for managing their own offsets as there was no consumer group associated to a simple consumer. However, your simple consumer did talk to zookeeper to find out about partition leaders and there is some handling required there. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example I think Gwen's answer is complete in that respect. Hope that helps.
