AFAIK nowhere in the Kafka documentation does it use the term "queue", and unless you only have one consumer per consumer group it's impossible to guarantee FIFO behavior. Maybe call me a nitpicker but I've seen this "queue" language lead to completely wrong assumptions about kafka.

I googled "kafka documention", went to https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/, searched for "queue" and found 29 matches.
