This is a proposal to extend Kafka to (better) handle queueing use cases: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-932%3A...

"For example, a queue is perfect for a situation in which messages are independent work items that can be processed concurrently by a pool of applications, and individually retried or acknowledged as processing completes. This is much easier to achieve using a queue rather than a partitioned topic with a consumer group."
