Hi guys I am playing right now with Shared Consumer and I am following the Queues for Kafka (KIP-932) - Early Access Release Notes <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Queues+for+Kafka+(KIP-932)+-+Early+Access+Release+Notes> manual. To make it fly I had to add group.share.enable=true configuration parameter to the server.properties file, this is not mentioned in the manual. Without this configuration kafka-console-share-consumer.sh is throwing and exception:

Processed a total of 0 messages Could you confirm that indeed this configuration parameter is missing in the manual so I can update confluence page? -- Best regards Paweł Szymczyk
