Hey there, I used the config setting "task.drop.deserialization.errors=true" to drop all invalid JSON messages. It seems to work fine, in case of an ongoing message stream. But the system will stuck when the last message was invalid and the queue will be empty. Upcoming messages won't be processed until I kill the task and start it again - then the new messages will be processed.
Works fine in case of: VALID MESSAGE VALID MESSAGE INVALID MESSAGE VALID MESSAGE VALID MESSAGE But stuck when the last message was invalid: VALID MESSAGE VALID MESSAGE INVALID MESSAGE ... (some time later)... VALID MESSAGE <stuck> VALID MESSAGE <stuck> Can you please verify this behavior - I am not sure if the system stucks, because the method "update" of the SystemConsumers class will return "false" in case of an empty queue and the last message produced a serde exception: https://github.com/apache/samza/blob/0.8.1/samza-core/src/main/scala/org/apache/samza/system/SystemConsumers.scala Thanks for helping!
