body: <p>Is it possible to read from multiple partitions using Kafka Simple Consumer?
  Simple Consumer uses the partition in the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PartitionMetadata metadata = findLeader(brokers, port, topic, partition);
  SimpleConsumer consumer = new SimpleConsumer(leadBroker, port, 100000, 64 * 1024, clientName);
  leadBroker = findNewLeader(leadBroker, topic, partition, port);
  </code></pre>
