To mitigate an issue (apache/cassandra-gocql-driver#915 and apache/cassandra-gocql-driver#831) with
gocql
when Cassandra's IP address resolves differently or on some particular network glitches, the session does not recover and there's the need to kill the container to be able to write again, an Observer was introduced to monitor and recreate the session when needed.We're hitting this issue for a while now, and since we're using a custom benthos image with this "band-aid" it never happened again, it's being able to recover by itself.
