I'm interested in knowing if we can achieve parallelism by allowing multiple consumers to subscribe to a single partition of a topic.
To explore potential solutions, I'm considering the following approach. 1. Implementing a locking mechanism to control access to the offsets in a partition to avoid concurrent processing issues. My primary concern is maintaining message ordering within the partition, as Kafka guarantees ordering within a partition. and message ordering is not the primary concern for many applications, so can we have a flag to enable multiple consumers to a single partition ? I appreciate any insights, advice, or experiences that the Kafka community can share on this topic. Thank you! Regards, Sree Sanjeev.
