Even though the client disconnects and resumes with a new connection, a message from the old connection can come in out of order. This can happen when there is a temporary network issue. I don't have metrics on latency comparisons with idempotency vs infligh requests = 1, but I wouldnt suspect it should be too much. Idempotency involves a sequence check broker side which shouldn't take too much time per produce request. It would be an interesting test to do. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
