In my experience people sometimes need to control their consumption rate. Spring kafka support this: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/blob/master/spring-kafka/src/main/java/org/springframework/kafka/listener/KafkaMessageListenerContainer.java
This simply add the property so it can be configure easily.
