Problem
I'm using jdbc sink task to save data to Postgresql. I wanted to use configuration property of jdbc driver reWriteBatchedInserts=true to optimize saving data.
This property toggles converting my separate upsert queries to one multi-value upsert. But there is problem when such multi-value query contains updates for same primary key.
Solution
I think it would be useful to have a feature that, before forming batches of database queries, reduces batches of records by keeping only the most recent record for a primary key.
record(primaryKey,value): (1,1),(2,2),(1,3) -> (2,2),(1,3)
It might be practical not only for my case and potentially could reduce number of queries when there are updates by same primary key.
Testing done:
