Multiple Kafka consumers performance test

Hello,

Is there a way to create an arbitrary number of separate Kafka consumers in a ReadyAPI performance test? The purpose would be to test performance when there are multiple independent consumers reading from Kafka at the same time.

Using a Kafka API and simply calling a test case that only consumes does not work correctly. It appears to be reusing the same consumer and constantly failing due to having already subscribed to the topic. This does not change regardless of "Load Type" choice.
