Hi @hbinduni    From Kafka 0.11, the KafkaProducer supports two additional modes: the idempotent producer and the transactional producer. The idempotent producer strengthens Kafka's delivery semantics from at least once to exactly-once delivery. In particular producer, retries will no longer introduce duplicates.   It's important to mention that If the producer is already configured with acks=all, there will be no difference in performance.   Additionally, the Order of messages produced to each partition will be guaranteed, through all failure scenarios, even if max.in.flight.requests.per.connection is set to more than 1 (5 is the default, and also the highest value supported by the idempotent producer).   More details in the document below: https://kafka.apache.org/28/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/KafkaProducer.html ...
