Line 178: Retry handling on the client side and retry rendez-vous logic will be 
implemented at the
Here is something tricky related to plumbing the concept of exactly-once 
semantics back to the client:
- What happens when we have a client batch that includes multiple tablet 
writes? This type of operation can partially succeed and partially time out. I 
think as stated the design works fine as long as the per-tablet automatic 
retries are happening within the client timeout, but...
- What happens if the client timeout occurs and we get a partial timeout? Some 
of the items succeeded and some timed out. Will we provide a mechanism through 
the API to be able to access the replay cache when manually retrying these 
writes after a backoff period? Imagine this happens if a tablet fails over and 
it takes a while for a new leader to be elected. How should an ingest pipeline 
like Flume or Kafka handle this? Without the replay cache, for inserts, they 
are simply forced to ignore "row already exists" errors. Can the replay cache 
help them avoid that behavior?
