In other words, the broker does not deliver transactional messages which are part of an open transaction or messages which are part of an aborted transaction.</p></li><li><p>Message writes across multiple partitions are atomic.</p></li><li><p>Message acks across multiple subscriptions are atomic.

supported exactly-once source connector and at-least-once sink connector, which means the highest processing guarantee for end-to-end was at-least-once, there was a possibility that the resulting messages from streaming applications produce duplicated messages to the resulting topics in Pulsar.</p><p>With the transaction introduced in Pulsar 2.8.0, the Pulsar Flink sink connector can support exactly-once semantics by implementing the designated <code>TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction</code> and hooking up the Flink sink message lifecycle with Pulsar transaction API.</p></li><li><p>Support for
