I am considering - and this is by all means, just a an idea for now - whether we could replace some of these combinations with an error policy (or something like that) so that users can "plug" their own handler. Naturally, we would provide a few of those with the legacy behaviors, but users in need of more complex behaviors, could have just that. So, instead of having a flag {{breakOnFirstError}} we would have something like {{onError=BreakOnFirstPolicy}} or {{onError=ResubscribePolicy}} or {{onError=#bean:CustomErrorPolicyBean}}, etc. was (Author: orpiske): So, what I am thinking here is how we can give the users the same flexibility without an explosion of flags and/or flags combinations.
