如何控制ConsumerGroup处理消息的并发性

我正在使用kafka-node ConsumerGroup来使用来自主题的消息。 ConsumerGroup在使用消息时需要调用外部API,这可能需要一秒钟才能响应。 我希望控制从队列中消耗下一条消息,直到我从API获得响应,以便按顺序处理消息。

我该如何控制这种行为?

这就是我们一次实施1条消息处理的方式:

var async = require('async'); //npm install async

//intialize a local worker queue with concurrency as 1 (only 1 event is processed at a time)
var q = async.queue(function(message, cb) {
          processMessage(message).then(function(ep) {
          cb(); //this marks the completion of the processing by the worker
        });
}, 1);

// a callback function, invoked when queue is empty. 
q.drain = function() {
    consumerGroup.resume(); //resume listening new messages from the Kafka consumer group
};

//on receipt of message from kafka, push the message to local queue, which then will be processed by worker
function onMessage(message) {
  q.push(message, function (err, result) {  
    if (err) { logger.error(err); return }      
  });
  consumerGroup.pause(); //Pause kafka consumer group to not receive any more new messages
}
