https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-2106 already covers this request, and in the comments there, Gary's opinion was that the only safe way to do this was to have the producer close the group, as Pankaj suggests. Unfortunately, the current implementation appears to begin dispatching messages from before the close request to the new consumer instead of letting the old consumer finish them: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3027. If you want that issue fixed, add your vote to it in JIRA.
