After posting question on a kafka forum, the following was revealed by kafka developer: {quote}Is there minimum replication factor required to enable exactly_once for topic involved in transactions? {quote} "Well, technically you can configure the system to use EOS with any replication factor. However, using a lower replication factor than 3 effectively voids EOS. Thus, it’s strongly recommended to use a replication factor of 3." This should be clearly documented in the stream doc: [https://kafka.apache.org/28/documentation/streams/developer-guide/config-streams.html] Which refers to this broker link [https://kafka.apache.org/28/documentation/streams/developer-guide/config-streams.html#streams-developer-guide-processing-guarantedd] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
