Any insight on how we can design below current workflow in Kafka when using compacted topic OR basically how we handle retry/failures. Do we need to use multiple compact topic's for each of these directories (InProcess/Retry/Manual/Completed) and move messages in between them OR use one topic and application maintains the offset's etc.
Current workflow 1. All the new orders (json files) are placed under *InProcess* directory. If there is an update, and older file hasn't been processed yet, the older file is removed with new one. 2. The process picks up each json file and submits to Solr. If submission successful, json file are moved to *Ingested* directory 3. If submission fails, it retries one time and moves files to *Ingested* folder 4. If fails, the json file is moved to *Retry* directory 5. The *Retry* directory files are retried every hour and if they fail, they are moved to *Manual* directory for someone to look manually 6. If successful, Retry files are moved to *Ingested* folder.
