> If you configure KafkaConnect to parse JSON messages, and you send it a non-JSON message, the SerializationException message will bubble up to the top, and stop KafkaConnect. While I understand sending non-JSON to a JSON serializer is a bad idea, I think that a single malformed message stopping all of KafkaConnect is even worse.
> The data exception is thrown here: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/connect/json/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/json/JsonConverter.java#L305]
>  
> From the call here: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/WorkerSinkTask.java#L476]
> This bubbles all the way up to the top, and KafkaConnect simply stops with the message: {{ERROR WorkerSinkTask\{id=elasticsearch-sink-0} Task threw an uncaught and unrecoverable exception (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.WorkerTask:172)}}
> Thoughts on adding a {{try/catch}} around the {{for}} loop in WorkerSinkTask's {{convertMessages}} so messages that don't properly parse are logged, but simply ignored? This way KafkaConnect can keep working even when it encounters a message it cannot decode?
