Hi,

I'm using a Source.queue with BroadcastHub to implement a pattern where a 
web request can add an item to the queue, attach to the graph and get a 
result. The problem I'm stuck on is that I'm not sure how to handle errors 
without failing the graph. Example:

Without the supervision strategy I see getting the following output

flow handling 1
Result 1 Success(Some(error))
Result 2 Success(None)

The graph stops after the exception and "2" is never processed

With the supervision, the graph recovers and processes "2" but never sees 
"error"

flow handling 1
Graph failed java.lang.Exception.. resuming
Result 1 Failure(java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: No elements passed 
in the last 1 second.)
flow handling 2
Result 2 Success(Some(2))

What I'd like to see is 

Result 1 Success(Some(error))
Result 2 Success(Some(2))

Is there a way I can recover the graph on a failure but also see the value 
returned from the "recover" function. Also, why does the graph still fail 
the graph when there is a recover? Thanks

object QueueGraph extends App {

  implicit val system = ActorSystem()
  implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()

  val sourceQueue: Source[String, SourceQueueWithComplete[String]] =
    Source.queue[String](bufferSize = 2, OverflowStrategy.backpressure)

  val decider: Supervision.Decider = {
    case e: Exception =>
      println(s"Graph failed ${e}.. resuming")
      Supervision.Resume
  }

  val (queue: SourceQueueWithComplete[String], source: Source[String, NotUsed]) 
=
    sourceQueue
        .via(Flow[String].map { num =>
          println(s"flow handling ${num}")

            throw new Exception()
          } else {
            num
          }
        })
        .recover{case e: Exception => "error"}

// If supervisor is removed, the recover catches the exception and returns 
"error" but the graph fails and no longer processes anything. With supervisor 
"error" is never emitted
//        .withAttributes(ActorAttributes.supervisionStrategy(decider))
        .toMat(BroadcastHub.sink(bufferSize = 1))(Keep.both).run()

  import scala.concurrent.duration._

  // find error
  val f = source
    .filter(_ == "error")
      .idleTimeout(1.second)
    .toMat(Sink.headOption)(Keep.right).run()

  queue.offer("1")

  println(s"Result 1 ${Try(Await.result(f, Duration.Inf))}")

  queue.offer("2")

  val f2 = source
    .filter(_ == "2")
    .idleTimeout(1.second)
    .toMat(Sink.headOption)(Keep.right).run()

  println(s"Result 2 ${Try(Await.result(f2, Duration.Inf))}")
}
