## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

The technique I’m describing has one important constraint: messages have to be either idempotent or have a built-in ordering (ex. time series data), because there’s no way for the ingest servers to handle the ordering of messages otherwise. You won’t be able to come up with a “true” total ordering here either, but we’re okay with that on a statistical level.
