Hi Jason,

delivery.timeout.ms sounds good to me.

I was referring to the case that we are resetting the PID/sequence after
expire a batch. This is more about the sending the batches after the
expired batch.

The scenario being discussed is expiring one of the batches in a in-flight
request and retry the other batches in the that in-flight request. So
consider the following case:
1. Producer sends request_0 with two batches (batch_0_tp0 and batch_0_tp1).
2. Broker receives the request enqueued the request to the log.
3. Before the producer receives the response from the broker, batch_0_tp0
expires. The producer will expire batch_0_tp0 immediately, resets PID, and
then resend batch_0_tp1, and maybe send batch_1_tp0 (i.e. the next batch to
the expired batch) as well.

For batch_0_tp1, it is OK to reuse PID and and sequence number. The problem
is for batch_1_tp0, If we reuse the same PID and the broker has already
appended batch_0_tp0, the broker will think batch_1_tp0 is a duplicate with
the same sequence number. As a result broker will drop batch_0_tp1. That is
why we have to either bump up sequence number or reset PID. To avoid this
complexity, I was suggesting not expire the in-flight batch immediately,
but wait for the produce response. If the batch has been successfully
appended, we do not expire it. Otherwise, we expire it.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin
