Review Comment:
   The two statements do not sound in line with each other. The first one says it's recommended for append-only, not requiring de-dup or update. The other says keys produced are globally unique to support subsequent deletes or updates. Can you clarify?

   What happens in retries? I think partitionId will be same but are the order of records guaranteed to be the same (or are they sorted)?

Review Comment:
   Can you remind me why do we keep these as empty here? Is it populated in write handles? 
   Should we at least assign the commitSeqNo at this stage itself to avoid recomputing again?

Review Comment:
   let's keep the naming consistent throughout - i see three different names for the same purpose. Let's pick one of `autoGenerateRecordKeys`, or `doAutoGenerateRecordKeys`, or `shouldAutoGenerateRecordKeys`. I like the latter but any one throughout the code will do.

   we have to be a bit careful about setting this to empty list. This list is passed as-is to the `KeyGenUtils#getRecordKey` taht could fail for empty list.

   why calling `getKey()` is necessary for fetching partition path? shouldn't the implementation of `getPartitionPath` be necessary and sufficient?

Review Comment:
   Also, does it need to be atomic counter like we do for commit seq number in create/append handles?

Review Comment:
   I see why you need to handle the autoGenerateRecordKeys as a special case in the keygens. This is a bit troubling that to get the partition path we need to call getKey first. I vaguely recall our discussion around decoupling partition path from keygen. For now, can we not add a method `getPartitionPath` in `KeyGenerator` and reuse the underlying implementation instead of going through `HoodieKey`?
