Partition assignment in a consumer group
When a consumer wants to join a group it sends a JoinGroup request to the group coordinator. The first consumer to join the group becomes the group leader. The leader receives a list of all the active consumers in the group from the group coordinator. The leader is responsible for assigning a subset of partitions to each consumer and uses an implementation of the PartitionAssigner interface (or language/framework appropriate implementation) to decide which partitions should be handled by each consumer.
After deciding on the partition assignment the group leader sends the list of assignments back to the Group Coordinator which then sends the information to all consumers. Each consumer only sees its own assignment, the leader is the only client process that has the full list of consumers in the group.
This partition assignment process happens whenever their is a rebalance event.
The way consumers maintain their membership in a consumer group and their ownership of the partitions assigned to them is by sending heartbeats to a Kafka Broker that is designated as the Group Coordinator.
The Group Coordinator broker can be different for different consumer groups.
If a consumer stops sending heartbeats for long enough its session will time out and the group coordinator will consider it dead and trigger a rebalance.

Consumer Group behavior in Kaffe
I spun up a simple Kaffe project to see how it handles consumer groups in nodes that are completely isolated from each other except for the connection to Kafka. Things look good!
I changed my local whitelist topic to have 10 partitions. I then joined a single kafkatest node to the kafkatest1 consumer group. I then joined a second node to the same consumer group. I then killed the original node (the group leader) to verify that the second node took over the partitions.

It appears that group coordination is indeed correctly happening through Kafka. 👍

Good background info (not that we doubted Kafka's ability to coordinate consumers)!
