cameronbroe opened a new issue #519: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/issues/519
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** As an application, I am unable to determine the current state of health of the Pulsar client. If my connection dies, my application ends up in a hanging state with infinite retries. Setting a maximum number of retries through the currently provided interface just causes a hanging state, with no notification that my application can respond to handle the error. **Describe the solution you'd like** The Client should have an `ErrorChannel` that my application is able to consume messages from with information about where an error has happened, such as a connection being killed and retries failing. This will allow applications to detect when Pulsar is an unhealthy state and respond appropriately. The errors should identify whether it is a consumer or producer that failed as well, so applications can handle them different. **Describe alternatives you've considered** For a Consumer specifically, I tried to patch so the ConsumerMessage channel is closed after a maximum number of retries have failed, but it seems there are still retries from the client end as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
