Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-3700:
---------------------------------------

Yes agree, schemas might neat but be less flexible to updates.

>             Project: James Server
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: pulsar, Queue
>    Affects Versions: master
>            Reporter: Benoit Tellier
>            Priority: Major
>          Time Spent: 1h 20m
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Currently the Pulsar MailQueue do not come up with a dead-letter policy.
> A bad JSON payload halts the processing. 
> This makes the Pulsar MailQeue brittle:
>   - The ability to inject a single message with a bad payload can cause an 
> entire James cluster to come to a halt.
>  - Could be seen as an attack vector
>  - But also any changes to the underlying JSON schema for payloads is 
> susceptible to cause major downtime.
> We should define a deadletter policy:
>  - Given a number of failures delivery of the message would be abandonned
>  - And moved to a dead-letter topic for later audit (prevent data loss)
