Dead letter queue
A message repeatedly fails processing and is retried forever, blocking the partition. What is the standard remedy?
Options
- 1Delete the message silently after the first failure so the partition advances without blocking on it
- 2Disable retries and drop all failed messages so the partition never stalls, accepting loss
- 3Move the partition to another broker so a fresh consumer picks it up and the poison message is skipped
- 4After N failed attempts, route it to a dead letter queue for inspection and alerting
