                 Key: KAFKA-3958
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3958
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
            Reporter: Sharad Gupta
            Priority: Minor


As in the production environment  there might be the case that the consumers are running on several Application Server but the user wants that the message produced to certain topic should not be consumed by every AP (All AP consumers are in different consumer group) instead on the basis of first come first serve till the count is met and after that every request from other AP will result in no message.
