Thanks @echauchot for sharing that thread. I really like a lot of what @ludovic-boutros proposed and have many shared goals; in particular, implementing the pattern where successful and failed writes can be returned via `MultiOutputReceiver`. I believe the multi-output pattern could fit within the current IO with some additional effort, and I had planned to do that as a follow-up so as to not introduce even more changes in one PR. At the same time, I also see the argument that in many ways using the low-level client results in "reinventing the wheel" for a number of features (with good justification, IMO, of enabling cross-version support). I'd be very willing to contribute to brainstorming (and implementation once we reach that point) if others are open to that. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
