Hi
Option 1: You can write back to processed queue and add some additional
info like last time tried and some counter.
Option 2: Load unpaired transactiona in a staging table in postgres. Modify
streaming job of "created" flow to try to pair any unpaired trx and clear
it by moving to main table. You may need to create a batch job to delete
records from the staging table to remove unpaired records which pass a
certain age.
