Idempotent delivery + ensures that messages are delivered exactly once to a particular topic partition during the lifetime of a single producer. + Transactional delivery allows producers to send data to multiple partitions such that either all messages are successfully + delivered, or none of them are. Together, these capabilities enable "exactly once semantics" in Kafka.

As long as the number of messages per batch is more than 2, you can expect lower overall overhead. For smaller + batches, however, there may be a small performance impact. See <a href="bit.ly/kafka-eos-perf">here</a> for the results of our + initial performance analysis of the new message format.

In order to avoid the cost of down-conversion, you should ensure that consumer applications + are upgraded to the latest 0.11.0 client. Significantly, since the old consumer has been deprecated in 0.11.0.0, it does not support + the new message format. You must upgrade to use the new consumer to use the new message format without the cost of down-conversion. + Note that 0.11.0 consumers support backwards compability with brokers 0.10.0 brokers and upward, so it is possible to upgrade the + clients first before the brokers. +</p> + <h4><a id="upgrade_10_2_0" href="#upgrade_10_2_0">Upgrading from 0.8.x, 0.9.x, 0.10.0.x or 0.10.1.x to 0.10.2.0</a></h4> <p>0.10.2.0 has wire protocol changes.
