A consumer group is a set of consumers that cooperate to consume data from
various topics. The consumers in a consumer group all have the same group.id.
To create a new consumer group, you can use the Kafka command-line tools. Or,
you can start a new consumer application with a group-id set to a
consumer-group ID in the consumer properties file. If the specified group-id
does not exist, Kafka creates a new consumer group.
You can also set other configuration options, such as offset management settings, by using the client properties file.
Apache Kafka for BigQuery provides APIs to view, update, and delete consumer groups within Google Cloud.
