Documentation: default value for isolation.level should be updated to read_committed
Description
Section for isolation.level states that default value isolation.level should be read_uncommitted. But in kafka-client-configuration section of confluent-kafka-python it is stated refer to librdkafka’s documentation that specifies default value for isolation.level read_committed.
Section isolation.level should be updated with default value read_committed.
How to reproduce
- Publish 'Message_not_in_transaction' message using non-transactional Producer.
- Publish messages 'Message1', 'Message2' using transactional Producer but NOT commit transaction.
- Consume messages from topic using Consumer not specifying isolation.level parameter.
- Observe that [b'Message_not_in_transaction'] message is consumed.
- Commit transaction.
- Consume messages from topic using Consumer not specifying isolation.level parameter.
- Observe that [b'Message1', b'Message2'] messages are consumed.
It proves that Consumer with default isolation.level reads messages published in transaction only after transaction is committed, that means default value for isolation.level is read_committed.
