If some worker crash suddenly, how to handle the message which was supposed to be delivered to the worker?

1. Should we buffer all message infinitely?
2. Should we block the message sending until the connection is resumed?
3. Should we config a buffer limit, try to buffer the message first, if the limit is met, then block?
4. Should we neither block, nor buffer too much, but choose to drop the messages, and use the built-in storm failover mechanism?
