Hi Sumit, it reads well. I have some reservations (tho not about the great documentation you have written here, but rather) about the flow it relates to. I tested the blueprint this document supports but it has a number of issues. First and foremost, it does not work (24/04/2025 12:05:39 [error] msg.topic : the query is not defined as a string errors in the console) but also about its structure and what we are promoting (not using best practices for SQL etc).

Do you want to re-review the blueprint flow first before I approve / merge this? (Just in case you need to re-do any parts of the document)
