Review Comment:
   hmm, that's a good point. I think the question to ask is: is it incorrect to 
set this flag (to allow a `KafkaCommittable` to be generated for the txn at 
pre-commit time) preemptively, instead of only setting it when data has 
actually been written?
   
   I think the answer is that it is not incorrect, so it is ok to leave this as 
is. Reasoning is as follows:
   
   - At pre-commit time and performing flush, if some data failed to be 
flushed, the pre-commit will fail so a `KafkaCommittable` will not be 
checkpointed for the txn anyways. In this scenario, the 
`hasRecordsInTransaction` flag is irrelevant anyways.
   
   - If all records are correctly flushed, then good; a `KafkaCommittable` 
should be generated for the txn. We're good here because we've alraedy 
preemptively set the `hasRecordsInTransaction` flag.
