Hi Luke, > The solution I can think of is to create only one partition for the topic.
That would work, but then I lose the benefits of the partitions. > Or you can create 4 consumers in one group, to consume from 4 partitions. That works, too. That does not work, because I need only one consumer receiving all the messages in the same order on every run. Hi Suni, > Why dont you provide new name to consumer group each time you restart your consumer? This new consumer group will not conflict with the earlier one and it will be treated as new consumer thread next time to get all messages again. That does not solve my problem, which is to have the same consumer getting all the topic messages in the same order. I'm not worried about conflicts. In fact, I want the exact same consumer to run twice in a row. Renaming the consumer group does not help with anything related to message order.
