Kafka jamči redoslijed unutar particije, ali ne i preko particija — ključni koncept. Da biste dobili redoslijed za povezane događaje, rutirte ih u istu particiju (preko istog ključa). Razumijevanje redoslijeda je važno za ispravnost.
Redoslijed po particiji
Kafka guarantees:
✓ ORDER WITHIN a partition → events in a partition are strictly ordered (by offset);
consumers read them in order
✗ NO order ACROSS partitions → events in different partitions have no relative order
guarantee (they're processed in parallel by different consumers)
→ this is a FUNDAMENTAL Kafka property (and a common source of misunderstanding)
