Description

It is a common requirement for users to catch and ignore exp while sinking the event to to downstream system like Kafka. It will be convenient for some use cases, if Flink Sink can provide built-in functionality and config to turn it on and off, especially for cases that data consistency is not very important or the stream contains dirty events. [1][2]

First of all, consider doing it for KafkaSink. Long term, a common solution that can be used by any connector would be even better.
