I was writing Kafka consumer and I have a query related to consumer processes.
I have a consumer with groupId="testGroupId" and using the same groupId I consume from multiple topics say, "topic1" and "topic2". Also, assume "topic1" is already created on broker whereas "topic2" is not yet created. Now If I start the consumer I see consumer threads for "topic1" (which is already created) in zookeeper nodes, but I do not see any consumer thread(s) for "topic2". My question is, will the consumer thread(s) for "topic2" will be created only after we create the topic on broker? -- *Regards,* *Ravi*
