Hi!  
I have a 6 node cluster running kafka broker on 3 machines and a topic with 18 partitions.  
I started logstash process on 3 out of six nodes with a common consumer group subscribing to this topic.

But when I describe consumer-group:

/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server : --group --describe  
It shows a same logstash owner for all 18 partitions. Shouldn't I see the partitions divided among 3 logstash processes that I have running on 2 nodes. Rightnow looks like only one logstash consumer is working.

Plus from [zkCli.sh](http://zkCli.sh) ls /consumers doesn't show

Restarting ZK and kafka doesn't help.

Here is my logstash input section:

input {  
kafka {  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "ip-...internal:6667,ip-.internal:6667"  
group\_id =\> "my-group"  
topics =\> ["input"]  
consumer\_threads =\> 2  
}  
}
