Say for example i have a topic A with 6 partitions and two consumer applications with 3 consumer threads each and with the same groupid. If i start one application does it start consuming only 3 partitions, and if start later the other one, does it start picking the rest of the partitions ?. or If i start one application does it start consuming all 6 partitions, and if start later the other one, does it start sharing the partitions with the other application threads ?
