KeyValue schema encoding types INLINE vs SEPARATED

[kasparjarek]

I have a few questions regarding KeyValue schema encoding types (INLINE vs SEPARATED). I have seen conflicting answers from AI bots and was unable to find clear information in the documentation.

1. Is it true that when using INLINE encoding, the key is not used for routing decisions and therefore the ordering guarantees of the Key_Shared subscription type are lost?
2. What are the practical advantages and disadvantages of these two encoding types? If the statement above is true, why would I ever want to use INLINE type?

Thank you
