Pulsar.ConsumerGroup (Pulsar v2.8.11)

A supervisor that manages a group of consumer processes for a single topic.

This module provides a reusable abstraction for creating and managing consumer groups, whether for regular topics or individual partitions within a partitioned topic.

Each consumer group manages multiple consumer processes (configurable via consumer_count) that all subscribe to the same topic with the same subscription configuration.
