title: Can I have multiple consumer reading from same Kafka Topic in parallel?
body: <p>Currently I have one Kafka topic. </p>
  
  <p>Now I need to run multiple consumer so that message can be read and processed in parallel.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible.</p>
  
  <p>I am using python and pykafka library.</p>
  
  <pre><code>consumer = topic.get_simple_consumer(consumer_group=b"charlie",
                                   auto_commit_enable=True)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is taking same message in both consumer. I need to process message only once.</p>
