Is Simple Consumer same as the old Kafka Simple consumer

[goodfella1408]

There are two types of consumers documented - simple consumer and group consumer Is the simple consumer same as the old Kafka simple consumer or is it the old high level consumer . Seeing that we can pass group id to the simple consumer and also the description ("Suitable for simple use cases") one is tempted to think it's the old high level consumer but if one goes by the name it seems to be the old simple consumer Do we have to handle broker leader changes if it is the old Kafka simple consumer ? I think it would be good if the wiki calls it out explicitly whether the simple consumer is indeed the old kafka simple consumer
