python kafka消费者,Python Kafka消费者组ID问题

AFAIK,

The concept of partitions and (consumer) groups in kafka was introduced to implement parallelism. I am working with kafka through python. I have a certain topic, which has (say) 2 partitions. This means, if I start a consumer group with 2 consumers in it, they will be mapped(subscribed) to different partitions.

But, using kafka library in python, I came across a weird issue. I started 2 consumers with essentially the same group-ids, and started the threads for them to consume messages.

But, every message in the kafka-stream is being consumed by both of them !! This seems ridiculous to me, and even conceptually incorrect. Is there anyway I can map the consumers to certain (distinct) partitions manually (if they are not mapped to different partitions automatically)?

Here is the code:

from kafka import KafkaConsumer

import thread
