Logstash version: 6.3.0

Here is the log, and this info is always repeating:

```nohighlight
[2021-03-11T20:25:47,359][INFO][org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.AbstractCoordinator] [Consumer clientId=logstash-0, groupId=nginx-log] (Re-)joining group
[2021-03-11T20:25:47,685][INFO][org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.AbstractCoordinator] [Consumer clientId=logstash-0, groupId=nginx-log] Successfully joined group with generation 6560
[2021-03-11T20:25:47,689][INFO][org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.ConsumerCoordinator] [Consumer clientId=logstash-0, groupId=nginx-log] Setting newly assigned partitions [nginx-log-radar-3, ...]

```

Is this normal?
