Description
Use case
Currently when using the Batch Processor utility, if all the records in a batch are marked as failed the utility throws a BatchProcessingError.
Taking into consideration that the utility is supposed to be used with partial failure reporting, a Lambda function that throws an error is functionally equal to a partial failure that reports all items as failed in the sense that all the items in that batch are retried as a result.
While we initially implemented this as an error to reflect the full batch failure in the operational metrics (i.e. function runtime errors), there are cases such as when processing small batches that this behavior can skew the metrics due to higher chances of a full batch to fail.
To accommodate these use cases, as well as those customers who simply want to avoid throwing an error, we should add a new raise_on_batch_fail (or similar) option to the utility that allows customers to opt out of the error throwing mechanism.
