Now I run the following python code in two different tmux panels:

ffrom pykafka import KafkaClient, SslConfig
from pykafka.exceptions import ConsumerStoppedException, PartitionOwnedError

client = KafkaClient(hosts="127.0.0.1:9092")
topic = client.topics[b'trivver']

try:
    messages = topic.get_balanced_consumer(
        consumer_group=b'trivver_bigtable',
        zookeeper_connect='localhost:2181')
except (ConsumerStoppedException, PartitionOwnedError):
    print('No connection')
    messages.stop()
    messages.start()

print('Connected')

for message in messages:
    if message is not None:
        print(message.offset, message.value)

first run - no problem second run in a different panel or window or terminal

I'm getting the following traceback:

I'm using Fedora 25 / Python 3.5.2

So this is my screenshot: http://pasteboard.co/N6Gai2T8A.jpg It seems that first run of the script and balancedconsumer - gets all partitions managed. The second run doesn't spawn rebalancing for partitions and when I submit simple producer - all messages displayed by a connected consumer.

If however I use a different GROUP name - then both instances of the script continue to run and display exactly the same messages as shown here
