If we have a chain of senders and receivers and absolutely wanted to avoid double processing instead of also maintaining idempotence down the line as described above. It is also technically possible (but I guess not worth the complexity); we could make it so that the receiver would add a flag 'about_to_process' on each record just before it starts processing the record and then it would change it to 'committed' once it finishes. If the receiver crashes before completing processing a message, it would see the 'about_to_process' flag and in that case it could ask the next process/receiver in the sequence if they already received a packet with that UUID and only send the output for that message if they have not.
It's very ugly but it's possible.
