Otavio Rodolfo Piske commented on CAMEL-17051:
----------------------------------------------

At first sight there may be a small overlap in the restart/resume part of this ticket, which could be covered on the SPI to be introduced by CAMEL-15562. Therefore, I am marking it as related - but subject to further analysis.

> 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.
