Hello,

Is there any support for the ignore\_malformed mapping property for the attachment processor or the ingest pipeline api.

Sometimes we receive files which are corrupt & we would like to ignore the corrupt file & index the other fields, is this possible.

Thanks,  
Vikas.

Ingest supports a on\_failure option on processors or on the pipeline. Just use it 🙂
