1. Default, kafka-console-consumer.sh will create a random group.
2. If you want to specify the group name, you can:
   1. Add group.id=group_name to a local file filename
   2. Use --consumer.config filename option of kafka-console-consumer.sh to set group
3. You can check your groups at zookeeper's /consumers/ directory.
