Like wise I think handling transactions separately is important as we should consider supporting or at least a how in future session transactions, xa transactions etc

Your last statement makes me feel you think they do. Atm reading the kip I see only once delivery working end to end if I have also transactions enabled on the consumer also. I shouldn't have to do this. Whilst having an idenpodent producer helps it doesn't solve the end to end problem. This only solves deliver into the broker. Not back out or any mirroring that may occur. Some work is also needed on the consumer for message dupe detection. To achieve this without transactions. This is why I really feel these should be tackled seperatly. So that there's a concentrated effort to ensure that we can deliver once only story without transactions end to end. Like everything timestamps and now the further kip cases going in there is resuse and advancements. But they're still storied and tackle the problem independently Cheers Mike Sent using OWA for iPhone ________________________________________ From: Jason Gustafson <ja...@confluent.io> Sent: Thursday, December 8, 2016 5:46:43 PM To: dev@kafka.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-98: Exactly Once Delivery and Transactional Messaging Hey Michael, There is no overhead from transactions if you don't use them, and they are not needed to leverage the capabilities of the idempotent producer. However, some of the underlying mechanics are shared, such as the message format changes and the InitPidRequest. We see them as the two essential ingredients needed to complete the exactly-once story, so we prefer to keep them together. -Jason On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 12:36 AM, Michael Pearce <michael.pea...@ig.com> wrote: > My apologies, my computer is auto spellchecking and I didn’t notice before > sending. > > *@Sriram > > Thanks > Mike > > On 08/12/2016, 08:35, "Michael Pearce" <michael.pea...@ig.com> wrote: > > @Shiram, > I would like to be able to have though exactly once delivery without > the need to use more heavy weight transactions, this is why I’m proposing > separate KIP these are not entirely orthogonal. > > Agreed the uuid could be re-used in supporting transactionality, but I > wouldn’t want to have to have full transactions and the additional > performance costs.
