Interface ErrorHandler<REQ,RESP>

Type Parameters:
REQ - the request message type
RESP - the response message type
public interface ErrorHandler<REQ,RESP>
Handles channel errors.

The default implementation returns true, which stops the channel (closes the transport) on the first error. Override and return false for specific errors you wish to tolerate — for example, transient I/O errors on a connection you want to keep alive.

Note: This handler covers errors in the read and write loops, including exceptions thrown by a RequestHandler. Only Error subclasses (e.g. OutOfMemoryError) bypass this handler and are caught by the channel's outer safety net, which closes the transport unconditionally.
