title: How to run hundreds of Kafka consumers on the same machine?
body: <p>In Kafka docs, it is mentioned that the consumers are not Thread-Safe. To avoid this problem, I read that it is a good idea to run a consumer for every Java process. How can this be achieved?</p>
  
  <p>The number of consumers is not defined, but can change according to need.</p>
  
  <p>Thank,
  Alessio</p>
