Use case:  
Logstash ingest from JDBC but misconfigured with the wrong credentials. If it fails, it'll fail forever so there's no point in Logstash saying `A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.`  
(In my particular case repeated failed DB logins locks the DB account...)

Question:  
Is there a way to prevent logstash from restarting the JDBC plugin and exiting completely?  
Note that I do not want to run logstash as a long-term service.
