Description

What would happen if I have a cluster of burrow pointing to the one broker? Ideally the burrow consumer should get rebalanced but are the metrics duplicated or something I should take into consideration?

Research direction

Start by investigating how multiple Burrow instances consume from one Kafka broker and how their metrics are reported. Verify whether consumer rebalancing causes duplicated or conflicting metrics, then document the observed behavior and operational considerations.
