Context
At the moment, we're vulnerable to poison pill attacks on our trigger bucket topics (i.e.
twTasks.{service-name}.executeTask.{bucket-name}
).This issue will be resolved by detecting malformed messages when deserialising to JSON, and in these cases we will just log the error (including topic-partition and offset so that the issue can be looked into) but then continue processing rather than getting stuck in a retry-loop.
