Tamas,

How is the layer failing? this is probably key to the problem.

For example we already have CONFIG ON_MISSING_DATA "IGNORE", what other 
failures should we ignore?

Maybe:

CONFIG ON_CONNECTION_FAILURE "IGNORE"
CONFIG ON_BAD_DATA_FILE "IGNORE"
...
others?

Some of these may or may not be easy to recover from.
