Answer from AI

Each consumer in its consumer group receives all messages from the topic. In Kafka, a consumer group ensures parallel processing of messages by distributing partitions among consumers within the group.

In this case:

  • There are 10 messages in the topic.
  • Two consumers are in different consumer groups.

Therefore, each consumer will receive all 10 messages, regardless of the number of partitions and the replication factor.

Answer: 10 messages.
