Description

In JMSMessageProducer all the exceptions are caught and success is returned [return 0] by default. Oozie will indicate that this WF action was successful as Falcon Messaging returns success.

WF shouldn't be failed if post-processing fails but instead of masking errors this can be controlled in the WF decision on failure.

<action name='succeeded-post-processing'>
...
 <ok to="end"/>
<!-- Shouldn't fail the WF if post processing fails -->
 <error to="end"/>
 </action>

Thoughts?
