Consuming

• You can now add a RecordInterceptor to modify the record before the listener is invoked.

• ConsumerSeekAware now supports relative seeks.

• You can now specify a delay between processing the results of the previous poll() and issuing the next poll().

• When using manual AckMode s, you can now negatively acknowledge a record and the container will perform the necessary seeks to replay the record.

• Micrometer Timer s are now supported to monitor listener performance.

• The SeekToCurrentErrorHandler can be configured to treat certain exceptions as fatal, disabling retry; you can also now add a BackOff between redelivery attempts for failed deliveries.
