While I was connected to console-consumer.sh, I posted a few messages to a Kafka topic, one message at a time, across a few hours.
I'd post a message, see it arrive in console-consumer, a few mins later I'd post the next message, and so on. They all arrived in order. However, when I now try to view console-consumer.sh --from-beginning, each time I do so, the messages seem to be shown in a shuffled order. Also the last 2 messages appear to be missing, although its possible I didn't see them in the shuffled output (the topic has over 10k messages total which are all dumped to console when I view). Is this just due to network lag when viewing console-consumer, or should I expect my actual consumers to also receive messages out of order each time they replay a topic?
