It only says that when return value is `null`, it means record is dropped. that's why I had this question. You bring up a good point about breaking contract with other message decoders. Perhaps in a follow-up PR, we should modify with a base decoder implementation that can handle exceptions and lets the OOTB catch-up. that way, we don't break anything, but provide a path to adapt for other implementations . I will resolve my comment for now. ty! :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
