Description
While not specific to the MongoDB Kafka Connector, the default behavior without defining a dead letter queue will be for the connector to stop and need to be restarted upon the first mal-formed message in the topic. Thus, we should add documentation to the Kafka connector to use a dead letter queue and specify an error tolerance.
Here is a link to a blog on dead letter queues for reference
