Hi Jun, Hi Colin, Satish and I are still discussing some details about how to handle transactions / producer ids. Satish is going to make some minor changes to RLMM API and other parts. Other than that, we have finished updating the KIP
I agree with Colin that the current design of using rocksDB is not optimal. But this design is simple and should work for almost all the existing Kafka users. RLMM is a plugin. Users can replace rocksDB with their own RLMM implementation, if needed. So, I think we can keep rocksDB for now. What do you think?
