Matt Farmer resolved KAFKA-5207.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

Heh, it was pointed out to me that assignment is an overwrite operation, not a cumulative operation.

> The {{Consumer.assign}} call permits us to manually assign topic and partition pairs to a consumer. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent that allows us to manually _revoke_ those partitions from the consumer. I'd like to propose the addition of a {{Consumer.revoke}} that also takes a {{Collection<TopicPartition>}} that will cause the Consumer to stop seeing messages from that topic and partition pair in a manually assigned scenario.
> For some wider context on this request: I'm working on a problem where I need two Consumers to consume from different topics on different threads. But the topics are partitioned identically, and so if Consumer A is subscribed to partition 3, Consumer B also needs to be subscribed to partition 3.
> The addition of this API would permit me to let Consumer A's partition assignments be managed by Kafka, and allow me to use a {{ConsumerRebalanceListener}} to tweak Consumer B's configuration when there's a rebalance event.
