Okay, so suppose I have 10 records distributed across 5 nodes and the partition of the first node holding 2 records failed. I understand that it will re-process this partition but how will it come to know that XYZ partition was holding XYZ data so that it will pick again only those records and reprocess it? In case of failure of a partition, is there a data loss? or is it stored somewhere?
Maybe my question is very naive but I am trying to understand it in a better way.
