Hi I am trying to understand when to retry sending messages to topics and when to start trying to send to "retry" topics. The scenario is basically
1. A KafkaStreams application is consuming from a topic and sending to a topic. The "retries" is set at the default of 10. 2a. After 10 retries, does it make sense to then try to publish to another "retry topic"? 2a1. What mechanism is there to know its the 10th retry, and to then start sending to a "retry topic" after the 10th? 2b. Or after 10 retries - for that message if its not successful its just done. Since there is no real difference between sending to a "retry topic" and sending to a non-retry topic, why not just set retries to a high level (like 100). 3. On an implementation level (Ive read the kafka docs, i find it a bit high level) can someone throw a nugget out there about how exactly-once semantics would erase the need for an "retry topic"? If u have time to answer any part of the above question, thank you in advance. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>
