Handling errors

[ACPK]

Should the documentation include ways to handle failed jobs so that SQS does not keep running them indefinitely?

Hi, I think this gem acts like a bridge between your app and aws SQS. So both failed jobs and pause jobs are handled at aws SQS.

Failed job can handle by SQS Dead Letter Queue..

Pause a job, I'm not sure how to do that. Doesn't seem can be paused.

@lovesmall - I added a "rescue Exception => exception" to stop the SQS job from rerunning, but moved over to https://github.com/phstc/shoryuken due to the error handling docs.

As active-elastic-job is implemented as a rack middleware things like the Rails log and exception tracking aren't possible 😌

@MRReynolds - We're no longer using this gem, but rescuing the errors worked for my team.
