Hi, My apology if this is a question which is already been answered before. Use Case: I am reviewing an application (producer) which is using librdKafka as a 3rd party library to interact with Kafka brokers (3= 1L+2F). This 3rd party lib has been configured for retries. Its a single topic with multiple partitions. Application suppose to maintain a strict ordering without any loss of messages. What I found is if the library fails to deliver the message after retires and notifies the application, it then again retries to send. (idempotent feature is enabled.) Question:
1. Will this break the ordering of message, if the application retries? 2. Will enabling idempotent going to help here ? 3. Is the retry from application unnecessary overhead in ALL cases. Thanx Abhijit
