The assignment will be:
C0: [t0p0, t0p2, t1p1]
C1: [t0p1, t1p0, t1p2]
When subscriptions differ across consumer instances, the assignment process
still considers each consumer instance in round robin fashion but skips
over an instance if it is not subscribed to the topic. Unlike the case when
subscriptions are identical, this can result in imbalanced assignments.
For example, suppose we have three consumers C0, C1, C2, and three topics
t0, t1, t2, with unbalanced partitions t0p0, t1p0, t1p1, t2p0, t2p1, t2p2,
where C0 is subscribed to t0; C1 is subscribed to t0, t1; and C2 is
subscribed to t0, t1, t2.
The assignment will be:
C0: [t0p0]
C1: [t1p0]
C2: [t1p1, t2p0, t2p1, t2p2]
