    Description

      There is not a single source of truth that explains how transactions should work in kafka.

      We should create a document that explains how they work, the guarantees, and tips for how to design applications that use transactions.

       

      The topic came up when discussing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17582 and the expectations for consumer offsets when transactions are aborted. This should be made clear in the documentation.
