Includes:
Default
Included in:
DlqMom
Defined in:
lib/karafka/processing/strategies/dlq.rb

Overview

When using dead letter queue, processing won’t stop after defined number of retries upon encountering non-critical errors but the messages that error will be moved to a separate topic with their payload and metadata, so they can be handled differently.

Constant Summary collapse

def find_skippable_message
  skippable_message = messages.find { |message| message.offset == coordinator.seek_offset }
  skippable_message || raise(Errors::SkipMessageNotFoundError, topic.name)
end

#handle_after_consume ⇒ Object

When manual offset management is on, we do not mark anything as consumed automatically and we rely on the user to figure things out
