A parking-enforcement feed uses multiple OCI Streaming partitions for throughput. Stakeholders ask whether the entire stream preserves a single global order of every citation. What is the correct order guarantee?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Order inside one partition is like one teller’s ticket queue—first in stays first. Across many teller windows, there is no single city-wide queue number. Streaming guarantees order within a partition as produced; it does not promise global order across partitions. Total order for the whole stream means one partition and the throughput that implies.
Full Explanation
OCI Streaming guarantees that messages within a partition arrive in the order they were produced. There is no global ordering guarantee across partitions. If a design requires total order for the entire stream, the stream must use a single partition and accept the throughput implications. Do not claim exactly-once global ordering as a Streaming default.
