A typical scenario is that Kuberbetes is starting up a bunch of pods, of which mine is one, and they come up in the wrong order. This is perfectly normal, and the correct behaviour is for your application to terminate - it'll be restarted later, and it should try again, and in due course it'll work. So, inside Transformer.transform() I get one of these errors. I want to terminate the application, without of course committing the record currently being processed, so that on application restart it re-processes this message and everything works fine. How should I do this? System.exit() or something more sophisticated? Tim Ward The contents of this email and any attachment are confidential to the intended recipient(s).
