在Kafka實戰章節，我們寫的例子都是Kafka的高階消費例項，可以看到在訊息消費者的程式中，我們只需要指定zookeeper、及消費群組的groupId即可實現從訊息佇列中消費訊息，遮蔽了大量的底層細節：如訊息的偏移量等資訊都不在程式中維護。Kafka的高階消費例項，滿足以下幾點規則：

（1）同一個消費群組中，如果執行緒數大於Topic分割槽數，那麼一些執行緒永遠接收不到訊息；

（2）同一個消費群組中，如果執行緒數小於Topic分割槽數，部分執行緒將從多個分割槽接收訊息；

（3）對於從多個分割槽接收訊息的執行緒，消費每個分割槽內的訊息是有序的，但消費多個分割槽之間的訊息是無序的；

        明白了Kafka的高階消費例項的過程之後，如果我們想進一步控制一個消費者消費哪個分割槽怎麼辦呢？比如多次讀取同一個訊息。答案是使用低階消費者例項，即在程式中指定Topic的Partition的Leader broker，並在程式中跟蹤訊息的偏移量offset值。其步驟大致如下：

（1）指定消費Topic Partition的Leader broker及備份broker；

（2）構造併發送請求資料；

（3）處理leader broker的變更；
