What this PR does:
This PR introduces group consuming to the generators, instead of the previously used direct consuming. Group consuming delegates partitions assignment to Kafka, which greatly simplifies operations for the generators.
It uses a custom balancer that combines Kafka's cooperative sticky balancing with partition ring awareness. This implementation is forked from Loki.
