Answer from AI
If we have 2 consumers and 4 partitions, then the partitions will be distributed approximately evenly among the consumers. Usually, Kafka distributes partitions so that each partition is assigned to exactly one consumer in the group. In this case, each consumer will receive 2 partitions.
For example:
- Consumer 1: partitions 0 and 1
- Consumer 2: partitions 2 and 3
This ensures load balancing and parallel message processing.
