Summary: Need the ability to pause kafka consumer Key: CAMEL-17051 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-17051 Project: Camel Issue Type: New Feature Components: camel-kafka Affects Versions: 3.12.0 Reporter: Zachariah Young Fix For: Future When handling transient errors that have exhausted retry limits, sometimes pausing the Kafka consumer is the best way to handle an outage. A great example of this would be the Facebook outage that happen this week. One might suggest that stopping the consumer work would for this use case. This would of course work but would require a manual restart. Also, you want to try to avoid a rebalance of the consumer. I would like to see a new strategy be created that would allow for pause and resume to be configured. Ideally, the resume could be configured based on a health check.
