BufferedProducer::FlushTerminationCallback.Reason:
FlushFailureCallbackcan be called multiple times subject to the number of retries set. However, the application has no way of knowing how many retries are left (the retry count is not passed into theFlushFailureCallback) so unless it keeps track via a map or some other logic of each message retry count it cannot detect when a message will be dropped. This makes message accounting tedious and complex.ProduceFailureCallbackcannot be called because we cannot build aMessageobject w/o a valid rdkafka handle. The application may also need to do some cleanup of theopaquedata it has passed. Otherwise this data can be leaked. Also the application can keep stats of how many messages fail or perhaps re-publish them into another kafka queue, log them, etc. And for that theFlushFailureCallbackis insufficient.ProduceFailureCallbackvsProduceTerminationCallbackpair.
