Data is lost if the kafka cluster is not reachable

[jainsuneet]

Once the data reaches at Kafka Producer node and if the remote Kafka cluster is not reachable then it simply logs the error and the data is thrown away.

@suneetjain What do you suppose should happen? The node cannot just store the payload for later, so the only other alternative is to block the flow, which would not be a good idea.

@nickivanov This is the current temporary solution I have posted.

@suneetjain - I tried to catch the "BrokerNotAvailableError: Could not find the leader" error via catch node and retry using msg.error or msg._error. but it seems not working.

Any solution would be appreciate.
