title: Does Kafka have Durable Subscriptions feature?
body: <p>I'm interested to use Kafka in one of my projects, but there is a requirement that the messaging broker have to keep the the messages when one of the subscriber (consumer) is disconnected.</p>
  
  <p>I see that JMS have this <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/bncgd/index.html" rel="nofollow">feature</a>.</p>
  
  <p>In the website it said that Kafka had <a href="http://kafka.apache.org/" rel="nofollow">durability</a> features.</p>
  
  <p>Is it the same like JMS or is it have different meaning ?</p>
