I guess you could store the transactional.id for _next_ transaction in
committed state. That way the new task starts the new transaction with the name
stored in state which automatically aborts the open transaction.
> Add Apache Kafka 0.11 connector

> Key: FLINK-6988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6988
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Kafka Connector
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Piotr Nowojski
> Assignee: Piotr Nowojski
>
> Kafka 0.11 (it will be released very soon) add supports for transactions.
> Thanks to that, Flink might be able to implement Kafka sink supporting
> "exactly-once" semantic. API changes and whole transactions support is
> described in
> [KIP-98|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-98+-+Exactly+Once+Delivery+and+Transactional+Messaging].
> The goal is to mimic implementation of existing BucketingSink. New
> FlinkKafkaProducer011 would
> * upon creation begin transaction, store transaction identifiers into the
> state and would write all incoming data to an output Kafka topic using that
> transaction
> * on `snapshotState` call, it would flush the data and write in state
> information that current transaction is pending to be committed
> * on `notifyCheckpointComplete` we would commit this pending transaction
> * in case of crash between `snapshotState` and `notifyCheckpointComplete` we
> either abort this pending transaction (if not every participant successfully
> saved the snapshot) or restore and commit it.
