Record sequence numbers are unique and monotonically increasing (but not
necessarily contiguous) for a specific timestamp across record
types in the same partition. To guarantee ordered processing, the reader
should process records (of potentially different types) in
record_sequence order for a specific timestamp in the same partition.
