Bhushan's response outlines several steps to diagnose message loss in Kafka streams, such as checking offsets, replication factors, acknowledgments, and Kafka logs. He correctly identifies the use of Kafka's internal tools and logs as a means to troubleshoot the issue. However, the response could be more structured and focused on a systematic approach to diagnosing the problem. Bhushan could improve by prioritizing the steps and explaining the rationale behind each action, as demonstrated in the benchmark response.
