Description

It would be nice to have support for transactions, so that you can see if a given record was part of a transaction or not, and what the state of the transaction is. Being able to see the transaction id would be a bonus (not to be confused with the transactional id of the producer!).

The information is available in the __transaction_state topic, which is created the first time a producer starts using transactions.

As it stands now, we have no way of telling whether or not a record will be consumed by a consumer running with isolation level ReadComitted.

The information could be displayed in a new column, or we could get an option to filter uncomitted records, or both.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start at the record viewer and trace how the __transaction_state topic and ReadCommitted visibility could be represented; clarify whether the goal is a transaction-state column, filtering uncommitted records, transaction IDs, or some combination before defining completion.
