Hi team In Kafka Sink docs [1], with EXACTLY_ONCE it is recommended to set: transaction_timeout > maximum_checkpoint duration + maximum_restart_duration.
I understand transaction_timeout > maximum_checkpoint_duration But why adding maximum_restart_duration? If the application recovers from a checkpoint, any uncommitted message that was written after the last successful checkpoint will be re-written regardless. If a transaction times out during the recovery it doesn't matter. I would rather say: transaction_timeout > maximum_checkpoint duration + checkpoint_interval Any thoughts?
