Description

Streams does not handle all exceptions gracefully atm, but tend to throw exceptions to the user, even if we could handle them internally and recover automatically. We want to revisit this exception handling to be more resilient.

For example, for any kind of rebalance exception, we should just log it, and rejoin the consumer group.
